I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
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 say.
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-a 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 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, 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 - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.

Woman, little darlin', say don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.
Eh (Little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry.)
