No Woman No Cry

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

Said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, oh good friends we've 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 darling don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean

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 woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Oh, my little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry
