No woman, no cry. 1st verse Here Little darlin', don't shed no tears. 2nd verse
No woman, no cry.

Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
Oba, Observing the hypocrites 1st verse And then Georgie would make a fire light 2nd verse
As they would mingle with the good people we meet, As it was log wood burnin' through the night.
Good friends we had oh good friends we've lost Then we would cook corn meal porridge
along the way. of which I'll share with you.
In this bright future you can't forget your past My feet is my only carriage,
So dry your tears I say And So, I've got to push on through, but while I'm gone I mean...
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alrigh so, woman, no cry.
No, no woman, no woman, no cry.
Oh, my little sister don't shed no tears.
No woman no cry.
No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
Oh, my little darlin', I say don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.
Yeah little darlin', don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.
