No Woman, No Cry

No woman, no cry (Repeat four times)
Cause 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 met.
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 then Georgie would make the fire light,
Log wood burnin' 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. . .
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.

Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
Ev'rything's gonna be alright.
So, no woman, no cry,
No, no woman, no woman, no cry.
Oh, little darling, 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.
