I remember when we used to sit
Out in the government yard in Trenchtown,
Observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, 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
Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears
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 light
Log wood burning through the night.
Then we would cook corn meal 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 I say...

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry
I remember, when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
We would sing sing sing sing sing
Everything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Sing sing sing
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I say woman don't you cry
No woman no cry

Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Little Darling, please don't she'd no tears
No woman no cry
