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-observing 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 great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh

And, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
'Ere, little darlin', 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 lights
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights

Then we would cook cornmeal 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 all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!

I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

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

Woman, little sister
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 the fire lights
As it was logwood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal 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

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Woman, little darlin', say don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Eh! Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
