No Woman, No Cry

A Dedication to all the refugees worldwide One time say, say, say I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn. Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet. Good friends we had Good friends we've lost along the way In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears I say and to my peeps who passed away, No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say, say,say. Hey little sister don't shed no tears No woman no cry say say say. I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey, And little Georgie would make the firelight, As stolen cars passed through the night And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew. My drink's my only remedy For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty, Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright, Fugees come to dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright, O everything's gonna be alright, The gun man's in the house tonight, But everything's gonna be alright. *Refrain* Oh ah oh ah No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry Say, Say, Say I remember when we used to sit In a government yard in Trenchtown Observing the hypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we met Good friends we have Oh, good friends we have 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 Little sister, don't shed no tears No woman no cry
