No Woman, No Cry

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 - obaserving the 'ypocrites
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.

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-a 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 - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, 
don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

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.)
