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 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.
