Chorus (x2)

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Verse 1

Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Oba-observing the ‘ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Verse 2

Good friends we have, oh, good friends we lost
Along the way
In this great future
You can’t forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

Chorus

Verse 3

Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
As if it was log wood burnin’ through the night

Verse 4

Then we would cook cornmeal 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

Bridge (x2)

Everything ‘s gonna be alright
Everything ‘s gonna be alright

Chorus
