| No woman no cry, no woman no cry | |
| No woman no cry, no woman no cry | |
| Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit | |
| In a government yard in Trenchtown | |
| Obba, obba, serving the hypocrites | |
| As the 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 say | |
| No woman no cry, no woman no cry | |
| Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry | |
| Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit | |
| In the government yard in Trenchtown | |
| And then Georgie would make the fire light | |
| As it was, love would burn on 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 thru | |
| Oh, while I'm gone | |
| 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 | |
| So woman no cry, no, no woman no cry | |
| Oh, my little sister | |
| Don't shed no tears | |
| No woman no cry | |
| I remember when we use to sit | |
| In the government yard in Trenchtown | |
| And then Georgie would make the fire lights | |
| As it was, log would 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 thru | |
| Oh, while I'm gone | |
| No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry | |
| Oh, my little darlin' | |
| Don't shed no tears | |
| No woman no cry, No woman no cry | |
| Oh my Little darlin', don't shed no tears | |
| No woman no cry | |
| Little sister, don't shed no tears | |
| No woman no cry |
