NO WOMAN NO CRY

by Bob Marley 1974

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

 

Said said

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba, ob-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

In this great future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say

 

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

Ee little darling, 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

As it was log wood burnin' 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 mean...

 

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

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

 

So woman, no cry

No, no, woman,

No, woman, no cry

Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

 

 

I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was log wood burnin' 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...

 

No, woman, no cry

No, woman, no cry

Woman, little darling, say, don't shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Yeah

 

 

Little darling don’t shed no tears

No, woman, no cry

Little sister, don’t shed no tears,

No, woman, no cry,
