No woman no cry, no woman no cry

　　No woman no cry, no woman no cry

　　Seh, seh, said I remember when we used to sit

　　In a government yard in Trenchtown

　　Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites

　　As the would mingle with the good people we meet

　　Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost

　　Along the way

　　In this great future,

　　You can't forget your past

　　So dry your tears, I seh

　　No woman no cry, no woman no cry

　　Little darling, don't shed no tears, no woman no cry

　　Seh, seh, said I remember when we use to sit

　　In the government yard in Trenchtown

　　And then Georgie would make the fire lights

　　As it was, log would burnin' through the nights

　　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 thru

　　Oh, 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

　　No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

　　Oh, my little sister

　　Don't shed no tears

　　No woman no cry

　　I remember when we use to sit

　　In the government yard in Trenchtown

　　And then Georgie would make the fire lights

　　As it was, log would burnin' through the nights

　　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 thru

　　Oh, while I'm gone

　　No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

　　Oh, my little darlin'

　　Don't shed no tears

　　No woman no cry

　　Little darlin', don't shed no tears

　　No woman no cry

　　Little sister, don't shed no tears

　　No woman no cry
