No woman no cry   no woman no cry   no woman no cry   no woman no cry   Say I remember when we used to sit   in the government yard in Trenchtown   Ob- observing all the hypocrites   as they'd mingle with the good people we met   Good friends we had and good friends we lost   along the way   in this bright future   you can forget your past   so dry your tears I say.   no woman no cry   no woman no cry      Hey little darling don't shed no tears   no woman no cry   I remember when we used to sit   in the government yard in Trenchtown   and then georgie would make a fire light   as it was love wood burning through the night   and we would cook wholemeal porridge   of which I'd share with you   my feet is my only carriage   so I've got to push on through   but while I'm gone (I mean it)   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   ev'rything's gonna be alright   No woman no cry   No woman no cry   Oh my little sister don't shed no tears   no woman no cry
