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

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

And 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

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