No Woman, No Cry (Live in Boston 1978)

I remember when-a we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet (meet)
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way (way)
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears, i say
And: no, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
Said - said: i remember, oh, when-a we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was logwood burnin' through the night (night)
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you (ooh)
You see, my feet i-is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone-a, baby
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right - yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
No, woman, no cry; oh, no, no!
Sayin', woman, now: no, woman, no cry
Woman, little sister, you can dry your weeping eyes
No, woman, no cry. eh!

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