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 the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving 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
Little Darlin’, 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 the Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burning’ 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
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
So, No woman, no cry
No, No woman, No woman, no cry
Oh Little Darlin’, Don’t shed no tears.
No woman, no cry
No woman, No woman, No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh my little darlin’, please don’t shed no tears.
No woman, no cry, yeah.
No woman, no woman, no cry.
