*A dedication to all the refugees Worldwide, one time*



Say say say I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in brooklyn

Oba oba-servin the crookedness

as they mingled wit tha good people we meet

good friends weve had, oh good friends weve lost

along the waaaaayyy

in the this great futur

you cant forget your past

so dry youre tears i say

to my peeps who passed away



No woman no cry

No woman no cry



Say Say Say

hey little sister dont shed no tears



no woman no cry



Say Say Say

I remember when we used to rock

ina project yard in jersey

and little georgie would make the fire light

as stolen cars pass through tha night

and then we'd hit the corner store

for roots, paper and brew

my drinks, my only remedy

for pain of losin family

but while im gone shorty



everything is gonna b alright

evreything is gonna b alright

fugees come to the dance tonight

everything is gonna b alright

everything is gonna b alright

evrything gonna b alright

the gun man is inda house tonight

but evrything is gonna b alright



o a oa o a oa o a oa o a oa o a oa o a i'm high oa o a oa o a



No woman no cry

No woman no cry



Hey little sister dont shed no tears

No woman no cry



say say say

i remember wen we used to sit ina government yard in trench town

Oba oba-serving the hypocrits

as they mingled wit the good people we meet

good friends we had, oh, good friends weve lost

along the way heey

in this great future you cant forget your past

so dry your tears i say



No Woman no cry

No Woman no cry



say say say

Hey little sister dont shed no tears



no woman no cry
