Song Lyrics

No, woman, no cry

'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba - obaserving the hipocrites
As they 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
'Ere, little darlin', 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 lights
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights
Then we could cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you yeah
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean

Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
I say, oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry

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