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

'Cause - 'cause - 'cause I remember
When a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites - yeah! -
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh
Good friends we have lost
Along the way, yeah! In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh yeah!

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry eh, yeah!
A little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry eh!

Said - said - said I remember
When we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah!
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, logwood burnin' through the nights
Yeah!
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, say

Of which I'll share with you, yeah!
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
So no, woman, no cry no, woman, no cry
I seh, O little - O little darlin'
Don't shed no tears no, woman, no cry, eh

No, woman - no, woman - no, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
One more time I got to say:
O little - little darlin'
Please don't shed no tears no, woman, no cry
