No Woman No Cry Lyrics

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
I said no woman no cry, no woman no cry

Yes I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trench town
Observing those hypocrits
Mingle with the good people we know ya
Good friends we knew
And food friends we lost along the way
In this bright future we can't forge the past
So dry your tears I say

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
I said no woman no cry, no woman no cry

Yes I remeber when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trench town
And georgey would cook corn meal poridge
Which I'd share with you ya
And my feet is my only carriage
So I'm gonna push on through

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
Everything's gonna be alright

No woman no cry, no woman no cry
I said no woman no cry, no woamn no cry
