No Woman No Cry

(album: Follow My Mind - 1975)

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

'Cause 'cause 'cause I remember when a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba obaserving the 'ypocrites yeah!
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way, yeah!
In this great future, you can't forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh. Yeah!

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry. Eh, yeah!
A little darling, don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry. Eh!

Said said said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah!
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
I seh, logwood burning through the nights, yeah!
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, say,

Of which I'll share with you, yeah!
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through.
Oh, while I'm gone,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
I seh, O little O little darling, don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry, eh.

No, woman no, woman no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
One more time I got to say:
O little little darling, please don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.
