Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Over-observin' 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, hey
In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
[Verse 2]
And, no woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
[Verse 3]
Say, say
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As if it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
You see, my feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean it
[Verse 4]
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
[Verse 5]
So woman no cry
Oh, no, no
Say it one more time, oh
No woman no cry
Oh, my little sister, you can dry your weeping eyes
No woman no cry
Ay
[Verse 6]
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
