I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in trenchtown Observing the hypocrites Mingle with the good people we meet Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost Along the way In this great 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 I remember when we use to sit In the government yard in trenchtown And then georgie would make the fire lights I seh, log would burnin' through the nights Then we would cook cornmeal porridge Of which I'll share with you Everything 's gonna be alright Everything 's gonna be alright
