No woman no cry (4x)
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh 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, 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
Log wood burnin' 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...
Everything's gonna be alright (8x)
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh 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, 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
Log wood burnin' 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...
Everything's gonna be alright (8x)
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
