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 a government yard in Trenchtown
Ob-observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we've lost along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

And, no woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
I say, 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 Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the firelight
And it was logwood burnin' through the night
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
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, everything's gonna be alright

So woman, no cry, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears
I say, no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin', say don't shed no tears
I say, no woman, no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry

Oh, my little darlin', don't shed no tears
I say, no woman, no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
I say, no woman, no cry
