No Woman, No Cry

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Say, say
Say I remember 
When we used to sit
In a government yard 
In Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle 
With the good people 
We meet
Good friends we have
Oh 
Good friends we 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

Say, say
Said I remember 
When we use to sit
In the government yard 
In Trenchtown
And then Georgie 
Would make 
The fire lights
I seh 
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
And so I've got 
To push on through
Oh, while I'm gone

Everything 's 
Gonna be alright
Everything 's 
Gonna be alright

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
