'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, oba-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, yeah
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say, yeah

  No woman, no cry
  No woman, no cry
  Little darlin' don't shed no tears
  No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light, I say
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you, yeah
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
    F7
But while I'm gone

C                  G           Am                 F
Ev'rything's gonna be alright, ev'rything's gonna be alright  x 4

  So, no woman, no cry
  No, no woman, no woman, no cry, I say
  Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
  No woman, no cry

  No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
  No woman, no cry, one more time I got to say
  Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
  No woman, no cry, yeah
