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 seh

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
