I remember when we used to sit
Out in the government yard in Trench town
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 Trench town
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 Trench town
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
