I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites, as they would
Mingle with good people we meet
Good friends we have had, and good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this bright future, no, 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

I remember when we used to sit, oh
In the government yard in Trenchtown, so
And then Georgie would make the fire light, as it was
Logwood burning through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet, they're my only carriage
And so I guess I better push on through
But while I'm gone, I'm singing

Everything's going to be alright, ay
Everything's going to be alright, and
Everything's going to be alright, oh
Everything's going to be alright
So no woman, no cry
And no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
And no woman, there'll be no tears for you
No woman, no cry

I remember when we used to sit, oh oh
In the government yard in Trenchtown, so
Oba, observing the hypocrites, as they would
Mingle with good people we meet
Good friends we had, and good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this bright future, you can't forget your past
So-oh-oh dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
