[Chorus: Steve Marley {Marley sisters}
No Woman, No Cry (Crowd Cheers)
No Woman, No Cry! {No Woman, No Cry!}
No Woman…
No, No Woman!…No Woman, No Cry! {No Woman, No Cry!}
[Steve Marley — Verse One] (Wyclef in parentheses) {Marley sisters in
brackets}
You see…
Said I remember! Oh, when we used to sit (Where at?) [Wyclef]
In a government yard, in Trenchtown {Town!} — Marley Sisters
(And what did you used to see son?)
Well oh, I was observing, them hypocrites!
As they would… Mingle with the good people we meet {Meet!}
Yeah-yeah!
Good friends we have, and oh well!
Good friends we’ve lost! Yeah-yeah!
Along…The way! {Way!} Yeah!
In this great future, yeah! You can’t forget your past! Say-yeah
Oh, dry your tears I say {Say!}
[Chorus x1]
[Wyclef] — (Lauryn singing in parentheses) — {Marley sisters in brackets}
Say! Say! Say! Say!
I remember! When we used to sit! [Where at son?]
Oh, In a project yard, in Brooklyn! {Lyn!} [Oh, yeah right when I left Haiti,
ha]
And little George he, would make the fire light! (I tell ya!)
As…Stolen cars passed through the night {Night!} [Newark, New Jersey, AH-
Ha!]
And then we’d hit, the corner store!
For Roots, paper, and brew, wooh! {Brew! Whoo!}
My drinks, my only remedy! I tell ya! (Sold out! Sold out!)
For pain of losing, family…
But while I’m gone, sure thing…
[Steve, Lauryn, Sharon, and Pam singing] — (Clef, Eric, and Ziggy chanting)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (OH! AH! OH-AH!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (OH! AH! OH-AH!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
Everything’s gonna be alright!! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
Everything’s gonna be alright! (OH! AH! OH-AH!) (HO!)
