I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had
Oh good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this bright future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh my Little sister
Don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
Seh seh said I remember
When we used to sit
In a 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
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
No woman no cry no
No woman no cry
Oh my little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Little darlin'
Please don't shed no tears;
No woman no cry
Little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
