Lyrics:

A Dedication to all the refugees worldwide

One time say, say, say

I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn.

Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet.

Good friends we had

Good friends we've lost along the way

In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears

I say and to my peeps who passed away,

No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say, say,say.

Hey little sister don't shed no tears

No woman no cry say say say.

I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey,

And little Georgie would make the firelight,

As stolen cars passed through the night

And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew.

My drink's my only remedy

For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty,

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

Fugees come to dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright,

O everything's gonna be alright,

The gun man's in the house tonight,

But everything's gonna be alright.



*Refrain*

Oh ah oh ah



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 met

Good friends we have

Oh, good friends we have lost

Along the way

In this bright future,

You can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say



No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Little sister, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry
