No Woman, No Cry

I remember when we used to sit

Out in the government yard in Trenchtown,

Observing the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have, good friends we've lost, along the way.

In this bright future you can't forget your past.

So dry your tears I say...

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears

No woman, no cry

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown,

And then Georgie would make the fire light

Log wood burning through the night.

Then we would cook corn meal porridge,

Of which I'll share with you.

My feet is my only carriage,

So I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone I say...

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears

No woman, no cry

I remember, when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown,

We would sing sing sing sing sing

Everything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Sing sing sing

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

I say woman don't you cry

No woman no cry

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears

No woman no cry
