No Woman No Cry (Live At The Roxy, 1976)

I remember when we used to sit
Inna the government yard in Trench town
Oba observing the hypocrites
As they would
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way, ay
In this great future
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh my little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said, said
I remember, oh when we used to sit
Inna government yard in Trench town
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
You see
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

So woman no cry
Oh, no-no
Say it one more time
No woman, no cry
Oh my little sister
You can dry your weeping eyes
No woman no cry, ay

Quit crying
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
My little sister
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
