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, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would 
mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, 
Oh, good friends we've lost 
along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Ee little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, said, 
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal 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 alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

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


I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light

Then we would cook corn meal 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 darling, say, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Yeah


Little darling don’t shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Little sister, don’t shed no tears, 
No woman, no cry
