Lyrics

Yeah, as you know Rastafari I live, I too live
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
You see, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Ob-observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet (meet)
Good friends we have, 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, and
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
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
Log wood burnin' through the night (night)
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So, so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right now
Everything's gonna be all right
So, woman, no cry
Oh no no, no, don't shed no tears
No, no, woman, (no, woman no cry)
Oh, my little sister don't shed no tears
No no woman (No, woman, no cry)
I say
Woman no cry
Woman no cry
Woman no cry
Woman no cry
I mean, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights, as it was
Log wood burnin' through the night (night)
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So, so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be all right (everything)
Everything's gonna be all right (everything)
Everything's gonna be all right (everything)
Everything's gonna be all right (everything)
Everything's gonna be all right (be alright)
Everything's gonna be all right (gonna be alright)
Everything's gonna be all right now (be alright)
Everything's gonna be all right (be alright)
So, woman, no no, woman no cry
No, no, woman, (no, woman no cry)
Oh, my little sister don't shed no tears
No no woman (No, woman, no cry)
(Little darlin', don't shed no tears)
(No, woman, no cry)
(Little sister, don't shed no tears)
(No, woman, no cry)
