1974
No, woman, no cry No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry No, woman, no cry
'Cause, 'cause,
'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites, yeah
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way, yeah
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say, yeah
No, woman, no cry No, woman, no cry, eh, yeah
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
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 say
A log wood burnin' through the night, yeah
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I say
Of which I'll share with you, yeah
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone I mean
Everything's gonna be alright (X8)
So no woman, no cry No, woman, no cry
Oh my little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry, eh
Everything's gonna be alright (X8)
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
