From the recording Can't Go Back
Lyrics
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government's yard of trenchtown
Oh while observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we met
Good times we had, good friends we lost, Along the way
In that bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government's yard of trenchtown
And then Georgie would make a firelight
And it was logwood burning through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I 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 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 Woman No Cry
Oh my little sister don't shed no tears
No Woman No Cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government's yard of trenchtown
Oh while observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we met
Good times we had, good friends we lost, Along the way
In that bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
Oh my little darlin' I say don't shed no tear
No Woman No Cry
Little sister don't shed no tears
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
No Woman No Cry
