No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry

Say, say

Good friends we have
Oh, good friends we lost
Along the way

So dry your tears, I seh

And, no, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry

Say, say

Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry

Woman, little sister
Don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry
