No woman no cry, no woman no cry No woman no cry, no woman no cry Say, say, say I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trenchtown Obba, obba, observing the hypocrites As we 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 Little darling, don't shed no tears, No woman no cry Say I remember when we use to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown
