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
I remember when 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:
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.)
