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.
Oba, Observing 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 seh

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 governmentyard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burning' thru the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
of wich 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 (4x)
No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
I seh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
