No woman no cry, no woman no cry

No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Seh, seh, said I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites

As the 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 seh

No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry

Seh, seh, said I remember when we use to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

As it was, log would burnin' through the nights

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 thru

Oh, while I'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

Oh, my little sister

Don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

I remember when we use to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

As it was, log would burnin' through the nights

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 thru

Oh, while I'm gone

No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

Oh, my little darlin'

Don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

Little darlin', don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

Little sister, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry
