Rudd, Xavier - No Woman No Cry Lyrics






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

And I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, oba-serving the hypocrites
As we would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have and good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future we can't forget our past
So dry your tears I say

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

I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
And Georgie would make fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
And we would cook corn meal porridge of
Which I'll share with you, mmm you and you

My feet is my only carriage now
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone

Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright well
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright well
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

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

  36. A.... F....

    privately educated?? or perhaps afforded the opportunities many don't?

    A.... F....

    If you're asking about Xavier, he grew up in the bush. His parents just let him wander about wherever he wanted.

    A.... F....

    Jaben Betz tell me more..

  41. P.... ....

    No Woman No Cry

  42. J.... G....

    thought it was the dude from point break

  43. B.... F....

    I wonder if Mr. Rudd has been to "Trenchtown." The music is really nice here. ( people need to stop screaming their encouragement while a person is singing and listen-it's more respectful (only my opinion.)

    B.... F....

    +Betsy Feller Agree... I understand that people want to show their appreciation, but jeez... wait till the song is over...

    B.... F....

    +Betsy Feller In his case, he really encourages audience participation - sing along, dancing on stage, etc. I've been to his shows, and normally I'd agree with you, but his shows and audience are something else. :)

    B.... F....

    theres a time a place for everything. i think its amazing when i hear voices scream out its like their souls finally getting able to breathe

    B.... F....

    +bonjourmssr Yeah i totally agree with you. His shows are super vibey, he gets that crowd pumping.

    B.... F....

    i agree.

  44. G.... ....

    So so lovely!

  45. P.... T....

    he look like Kurt C. but possitive not depressed :))

    P.... T....

    but shit not good

  46. M.... P....

  60. r.... ....

    Like when someone insults you and finishes by saying "God bless".

  61. r.... ....

    Blonde hair.

  62. D.... W....

    How can you possibly compare this guy to Kurt Cobain. They're both legends but make completely different music. Shit analogy you fucking hippy

    D.... W....

    It's the hair and facial structure mate, not the music.

  63. L.... X....

    I love my brother

  64. M.... M....

    Your comment gave me cancer.

  65. c.... ....

    unless its said like. Fuck this guy, peace and love :D

  66. t.... c....

    jah means god. in the rasta movement bro. yea i google shit i cant remember. my minds fried, how bout you

  67. a.... ....

    best views video^^

  68. C.... B....

    i see many of you have been sidetracked by the bigbrux's comment....no worries..just put in your mind the image of bob..with kurt... sitting with rudd doing a trio of this song.

  69. i.... G....

    OMG was just thinking the same thing. SO true.

  70. R.... R....

    No doubt!!!!

  71. k.... ....

    fuck this guy? and then Jah lives??? dont be fool , you¨r so saad...

  72. R.... P....

    I'm fairly certain "jah" and "rastafari" doesn't teach closed mindedness/ignorance and insulting/hate towards other humans. Especially those whom spread the message of peace and love through music (coincidently exactly what Bob Marley did....).

  73. R.... R....

    be rastaman is being a pure person, and xavier is, you don´t. I'm sure that bob marley would like to hear this cover!

  74. A.... ....

    135 persons are crazy !!!

  75. H.... V....

    i bet you are not even a rastafari and just thought you can get some thumbs up here...
    failed

  76. D.... G....

    You are beautiful! Thank You.Please look up Wookiefoot and their festivals at Harmony Park Minnesota!! you Belong in the Family!!! Peace Brother

  77. P.... E....

    It works well in open E major tuning ( E B E G# B E), I presume that is what he is using.

  78. M.... S....

    One of my surf songs right here, or just chillin' :)

  79. D.... S....

    Hhahah (: buddys commment made me giggle. i love this song, and bob marleys, love music (:

  80. H.... R....

    Anybody know the tuning please?

  81. C.... B....

    that and he kinda looks like him too.

  82. w.... T....

    big brown 1 lol

  83. s.... ....

    If your high enough it looks like a penis staring at him at 3:49

  84. c.... m....

    theres more point to it than your fucking comment bellend

  85. c.... m....

    eh, cos he has the same hair, lol

  86. e.... ....

    FUCKING BRILLIANT!!! and thats all i gots to say bout that

  87. P.... R....

    Bob Marley would laugh at your comment. I'm sure if he were alive he would appreciate Rudd's version.

  88. D.... ....

    Looks like Owen Wilson :D

  89. D.... F....

    I love that human beings are capable of creating experiences like this. And I love that human beings at every corner of the Earth can indulge in them. Life is good.

  90. W.... M....

    J'ai presque envie de pleurer tellement cette musique me prend aux tripes !!

  91. m.... ....

    WOW I don't know how I wound up on here but Lord I'm glade I did..This is what music is suppose to be..

  92. f.... ....

    I remember when I was ignorant.

  93. B.... N....

    MAN! You really are the epitome of peace and love lol

  94. C.... B....

    bet you 50 bucks if marley heard rudd doing his song he would do like the rest of us..shit himself and enjoy the fuck outta it.

  95. b.... a....

    i think u just high man :D high of his music and same goes to me

  96. J.... J....

    that's beats every other cover of no woman no cry.

  97. w.... r....
