[Intro]

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

[Verse 1]

I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba, observing the hypocrites

Mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have and good friends we've lost

Along the way

In this great future, you can't forget your past

So dry your tears I say

[Chorus]

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

[Verse 2]

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light, as it was

A 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

No, I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone

[Bridge]

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright now

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything's gonna be alright now

Everything's gonna be alright

So woman, no cry, cry, cry

No, woman, no (Woman, no)

So woman, no cry, no cry

No, woman, no cry

[Outro]

Hmm

Ooh

Ooh
