No Woman No Cry

No woman no cry

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in trenchtown

Oba obaserving the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people

We meet good friends we had 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

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in trenchtown

And then georgie would make the fire lights

Log would burning through the night

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 through

But while I'm gone

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

No woman no cry
