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 hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet good friends we had oh good friend we lost along the way In this bright future you cant forget your past So dry your tears I say
No woman no cry No woman no cry Here 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 then Georgie would make a fire light as it was log wood burnin through the nights Then we would cook corn meal porridge of which I'll share with you yeah my feet is my only carriage and so I've got to push on through But while I'm gone
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.
So no woman no cry No woman no cry Here little darlin' don't shed no tears No woman no cry
