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 weve lost, along the way.
In this bright future you cant forget your past.
So dry your tears I say...
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little Darling, please dont shed 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 Ill share with you.
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through
But while Im gone I say...
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little Darling, please dont shed 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
Everythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Sing sing sing
Evrythings gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I say woman dont you cry
No woman no cry
Evrythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Evrythings gonna be alright
Little Darling, please dont shed no tears
No woman no cry
