No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrits
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
