From "Like Father Like Son", the debut album by Ky-Mani Marley released on August 2, 1996
Lyrics:
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet, see
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,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry
Said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge, yes we,
Of which I'll share with you
I said my feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
So, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darling, oh please don't you shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little sister I'm begging you don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry..
