No Woman No Cry Lyrics


Jimmy Cliff No Woman No Cry


No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

'Cause 'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Boystown,
Observing those hypocrites
Mingle with those good people we met
Good friends we knew, oh, good friends we lost
Along the way,
In this great future, we didn't forget the past;
So dry your tears, I say.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
'Cause 'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Boystown,
And brother X would make the fire light,
Like the logwood burnin' through the nights,
Then we would cook fishty and cornmeal porridge,
Of which I'll share with you,
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through.
Oh, while I say,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right,
Repeat x3

no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
little darlin', don't you cry no tears no tears;
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry.
No, woman, no cry.
