Cause i remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, now
Good friends we have lost
You can't forget your past
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
Cause i remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, 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
So I've got to push on through
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
Said i re, said i re, said i remember
You and i and you and i and you and i
Cause i remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
