no woman, no cry

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

say i remember when we used to sit

in a government yard in trenchtown

observing the hypocrites

as they would mingle with the good people we meet

good friends we have

oh

good friends we lost along the way

in this great future

you can't forget your past

so dry your tears

i say

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

hey

little sister

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

so i've got to push on through

everything 's gonna be alright

everything 's gonna be alright

everything 's gonna be alright

everything 's gonna be alright

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

good friends we have

good friends we lost along the way

in this great future

you can't forget your past

so dry your tears

i say

no woman

no cry

no woman

no cry

hey

little sister

don't shed no tears

no woman

no cry

hey

little darling

don't shed no tears

no woman

no cry

hey

little darling

don't shed no tears

no woman
