No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
'Cause I remember when a we used to sit
in a government yard in Trenchtown
Obaserving the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have,
Oh, good friends we have lost
along the way
in this great future,
you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I sey

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
in the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
Log wood burnin' thru the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
and so I've got to push on thru,
Oh, while I'm gone,

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything'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, little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
