Lyrics for Song: No Woman No Cry
Lyrics for Album: Score
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
