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 oba - observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you cant forget your past;
So dry your tears, I say.
And no, woman, no cry;
No woman, no cry.
Here, little darlin, dont 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 logwood burnin through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone, I mean:
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!
I said, everythings gonna be all right
Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right, now!
Everythings gonna be all right!
So, woman no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman little sister, dont shed no tears;
No woman, no cry.
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire light
As it was logwood burnin through the night

Of which Ill share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So Ive got to push on through.
But while Im gone:
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin, say dont shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.
Eh! (little darlin, dont shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, dont shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
No woman, no cry;
No woman, no cry;
No woman, no cry.
