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

Observing the hypocrites

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 seh



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 through,

Oh, while I'm gone



Everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright



No woman no cry

No woman no cry



I say little darlin'

Don't shed no tears

No woman no cry
