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, Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet,
Good friends we 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
And
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry,
Woman, little darlin, dont 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 Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone, I mean:
Everythings gonna be alright! Everythings gonna be alright!
Everythings gonna be alright! Everythings gonna be alright!
Everythings gonna be all right! Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right! Everythings gonna be all right!
So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, dont shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.
