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 sitIn the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the ypocritesAs they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lostAlong the way
In this great future, you cant forget your past;So dry your tears, I seh
No, woman, no cry;No, woman, no cry
ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:No, woman, no cry
Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sitIn the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights,As it was logwood burnin through the nights
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-a!
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 sitIn the government yard in trenchtown
And then georgie would make the fire lights,As it was logwood burnin through the nights
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:
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)
