No Woman, No Cry

No Woman, No Cry - Fugees

Lyrics by：Ford Vincent

Composed by：Ford Vincent

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 is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Fugees come to the dance tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be alright

The gun man's in the house tonight

But everything is gonna be alright

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

No woman no cry

No woman no cry

Hey little sister don't shed no tears

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 mingled with the good people we meet

Good friends we had oh

Good friends we've lost along the way hey

In this great future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears I say

No woman no cry

No woman no cry say say say

Hey little sister don't shed no tears

No woman no cry

And to my peeps who passed away

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah

Oh ah oh-ah
