No Woman, No Cry

Bob Marley & The Wailers

I remember when-a we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown,

Oba - obaserving 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.

Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears:

No, woman, no cry.


Said - said: I remember, oh, when-a we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown;

And then Georgie would make the fire light,

As it was logwood burnin' through the night (night).

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,

Of which I'll share with you (ooh).

You see, my feet i-is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through.

But while I'm gone-a, baby:

Everything's gonna be all right!

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!

Everything's gonna be all right-a!

Everything's gonna be all right!


No, woman, no cry; oh, no, no!

Sayin', woman, now: no, woman, no cry.

Woman, little sister, you can dry your weeping eyes;

No, woman, no cry. Eh!

(Little darlin', don't shed no tears;

No, woman, no cry.

Little sister, don't shed no tears;

No, woman, no cry)
