Nina Simone — No Woman No Cry

[Chorus] No woman, no cry No woman, no cry No woman, no cry No woman, no cry [Verse 1] I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown Oba, observing the hypocrites 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 [Chorus] No woman, no cry No woman, no cry Little darling don't shed no tears No woman, no cry No woman, no cry [Verse 2] I said, I said, I said I remember, yeah yeah, when we used to sit In the government yard in Trenchtown And then Georgie would make the fire light Log wood burnin' through the night Then we would cook corn meal porridge Of which I'll share with you My feet are my only carriage And so I've got to push on through But while I'm gone now [Chorus] No woman, no cry (everything's going to be alright) No woman, no cry (everything's going to be alright) No woman, no cry (everything's going to be alright) No woman, no cry (everything's going to be alright) Yeah yeah yeah No woman, no cry (little darling, don't shed no tears) No woman, no cry (oh little darling, don't shed no tears) No woman, no cry No woman, no cry
