Say, Say,

Say I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

Observing the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have

Oh, good friends we have 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 darling, don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

Said I remember when we use to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

Love would burn on through the night

Then we would cook 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'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Woman and sister

Don't shed no tears

No woman no cry
