Say say said I remember when we used to sit
in the government yard in trench town
over over starving the hipocrites
and they would mingle with the good people we bring
good friends we've had or good friends we've lost
along the way
in this great future you can forget your past
so dry your tears I say....and
(chorus)
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
dear 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 trench town
and then georgey would make the fire live
as it was like wood burning through the night
then we would cook oatmeal porridge
of which I'll share with you?
my feed is my only carriage
so i ve got to push on through
but while im gone i mean it
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
everything is gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
little sister don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
