No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Said 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 had, 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

Oh my Little sister, don’t shed no tears

No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

Log wood burnin’ through the night

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…

Everything’s gonna be alright…

CHORUS

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

Oh, my little darlyn no shed no tears

No woman, no cry, yeah

any sister no she’d no tears, no women no cry
