A) I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was, log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook corn meal porridge

B) Here little darlin' don't shed no tears

No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

C) No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Oh, my little darlin' say don't shed no tears

No woman, no cry, yeah

D) No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba, oba serving the hypocrites

E) And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was, log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook corn meal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

F) Little darlin' say don't shed no tears

No woman, no cry

Little sister don't shed no tears

No woman, no cry

G) So woman, no cry

No, no woman, no woman, no cry

Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears

No woman, no cry

H) As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost, along the way

In this bright future, you can't forget your past

So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry (X2)

I) So I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone...

Everything's gonna be alright (X8)

J) Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone...
