No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
You see, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Ob-observing the hypocrites
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 say, and
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Oh my little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
You see, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights, as it was
Log wood burnin' through the night (night)
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
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
So, woman, no cry
Oh no, don't shed no tears, no no woman
No woman, no cry
Oh my little sister don't shed no tears
No no woman, (No woman, no cry)
