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 Trench-town.
O-ba, O-ba serving the hypocrites as they would
mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we 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.
And no woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
Here little darlin', don't shed no tears.
And no woman, no cry.
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
in the government yard in Trench-town.
And then Georgie would make a firelight
as it was logwood burnin' through the night.
Then 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, I mean.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
Ev'rything is gonna be all right.
So, woman, no cry.
No, no woman, no woman, no cry.
Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.

No woman, no cry. Yeah!
Little darlin', don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears.
