No woman, no cry.
Said said
Said 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
Here little darling, don’t shed no tears
No woman, no cry.
Said, said, 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 were love 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
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright
I said
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright now
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright now
Ev’rything’s gonna be alright.
No woman, no cry
No!!! no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh!!!my little sister, don’t shed no tears
No woman, no cry.
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites
As the would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have,
Oh!!! good friends we’ve lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can’t forget your past
So dry your tears, I say.

Of which I’ll share with you
My fear is my only courage
So I’ve got to push on thru
Oh!!! while I’m gone.
Everything ‘s gonna be alright,

Of which I’ll share with you
My fear is my only courage.
