No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry Cause I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trenchtown Oba observing the hypocrites As we would mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have, Oh, good friends we have 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 Little darling, don't shed no tears No woman no cry Said I remember when we use to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire lights I seh, log would burnin' through the nights Then we would cook cornmeal porridge Of which i'll share with you My feet is my only carriage And so i've got to push on thru, Oh, while i'm gone Everything 's gonna be alright Everything 's gonna be alright No woman no cry No woman no cry I seh little darlin' Don't shed no tears No woman no cry
