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 - obaserving the 'ypocrites
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 seh.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
'Ere, little darlin',
don't 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 I'll share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone, I mean:
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said,
everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister,
don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

I remember
when we used to sit
In the government yard

And then Georgie
would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood
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.
But while I'm gone:

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin',
say don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

Eh!
(Little darlin',
don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister,
don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
