No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Say, say
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Oba-observing the 'ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we 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
Here little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Say, say
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As if it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal 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
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
I say
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright, yeah
Everything 's gonna be alright

So woman no cry
No, no woman
No woman, no cry
Oh my little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As if it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal 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

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Oh my little darling, say don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
