I remember, when we used to sit
in a government yard in Trenchtown
Obba observing the hypocrites
as they 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
Oh my little sister, don't shed no tears
no, woman, no cry
I remember, when we used to sit
in a government yard in Trenchtown
and then Georgie would make the fire lights
as it was, log would burning through the night
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
of which I'll share with you
(you see)my feet is my only carriage
so I've got to push on through
while I'm gone
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
so woman no cry, oh nono
say it one more time
no, woman, no cry
Oh my little sister
you can dry your weeping eyes
no, woman, no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
no, woman, no cry
Little sister, don't shed no tears
no, woman, no cry
