Lyrics

[Chorus]
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
[Verse 1]
Say, say, 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 had, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way (Way)
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say
[Chorus]
And no, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Here, little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
[Verse 2]
Say, say, said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make a firelight
As it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you (Ooh)
My feet is my only carriage
So, I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean a
[Bridge]
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright, yeah
Everything is gonna be alright
[Chorus]
So woman, no cry
No, no, woman
No, woman, no cry
Oh, my, little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
[Verse 3]
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make a firelight
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
[Chorus]
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Oh, my, little darlin', say, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
[Outro]
Eh!
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
