Lyrics:

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 say

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
