There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
if you listen carefully now you will hear
this could be the first trumpet, might as well be the
last
many more will have to suffer
many more will have to die - don't ask me why
things are not the way they used to be
i won't tell you no lie
one and all have to face reality now
'tho i've tried to find the answer to all the questions
they ask
'tho i know it's impossible to go living through the
past
don't tell no lie
there's a natural mystic blowing through the air
can't keep them down
if you listen carefully now you will hear
Long time we no have no nice time,
Doo-yoo-dee-dun-doo-yea.
Think about that.
(Repeat)
This is my heart to rock you steady.
I'll give you love the time you're ready.
This little heart in me
Just won't let me be.
I'm just to rock you, now.
Won't you rock with me?
Long time we no have no nice time,
Doo-yoo-dee-dun-doo-yeah.
Think about that.
(Repeat)
The sun shall not smite I by day,
Nor the moon by night
And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right
And if it's all night
It got to be alright (repeat)
Your Mamma won't lose this one
You're the lucky one, under the sun
If you make me move
Then you know you got the groove
All night, it's alrigth
All night yeah! It's alright
Working on the forklift,
In the night shift
Working on the night shift,
With the forklift, from A.M. to P.M.
Working on a night shift yeah!
Well if it's all night
Warehouse, you're empty yeah!
Right around the corner
Bring your goods
Go around the other corner
Bring your suitcases
By the sweat of my brow
Eat your bread (repeat)
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, Oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I seh
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I seh, log would burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which i'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
And so i've got to push on thru,
Oh, while i'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I seh little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry.
