No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Say I remember
When we used to sit
In a government yard
In Trenchtown
Ober - observing
the 'ypocrites yeah
Mingle with the good
People we meet
Good friends we have oh
good friends we've lost
Along the way yeah!
In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
A little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Say I remember
When we used to sit
In a government yard
In Trenchtown
And then Georgie
Would make the fire lights
Logwood burnin
Through the nights
Then we would cook
Cornmeal porridge say
Of which I'll share
With you yeah
My feet
Is my only carriage
So I've got
To move on through
Oh while I'm gone
Everything is gonna be allright!
So no woman no cry
No woman no cry
O little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
