No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

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

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

'Ere, little darlin', don't 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, as it was

Log wood burning through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

No, I've got to push on through

So while I'm gone

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 (no, woman, no cry)

No

No, woman, no cry, no cry

No, woman, no cry

Mmh, ooh

Ohh
