'Cause I remember when a we used to sit
in a government yard in Trenchtown
Mingle with the good people we meet
Little darlin', don't shed no tears
Said I remember when we used to sit
in the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
Log wood burnin' thru the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
and so I've got to push on thru,
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no woman, no woman no cry
