No woman, no cry

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

Said - said - said:
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard
in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
As they 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 seh.

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry.
'Ere, little darlin',
don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said:
I remember
when-a we used to sit
In the government yard
in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie
would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood
burnin' through the nights.
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, I mean:
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said,
everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister,
don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.

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.
Woman, little darlin',
say don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.

Eh!
(Little darlin',
don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister,
don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
