Hugh Masekela - No Woman, No Cry Lyrics

(No woman no cry)
Woman no cry (no woman no cry)
Woman no, woman no cry (no woman no cry)
Woman no cry (no woman no cry)
No woman no cry (no woman no cry)
Woman no cry (no woman no cry)

Hoho
My junior brother is in John Foster square
They say he preached revolution
My older brother is in Robin Island
They say he talking about Communism
There's gonna be a raid tonight
The commando is come to Gaborone
They bomb your house and they mow you down
For the prevention of terrorism

Ho (no woman no cry)
Woman no, woman no cry (no woman no cry)
Woman no cry (no woman no cry)
Woman no, woman no cry (no woman no cry) Whoa

(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry)

Nelson Mandela never saw his family
For twenty-six years but he keep on smiling
Then Botha say, "Why do you smile?"
He say, "I know because it's gonna be alright
One day I'm coming back to Soweto
To see my Winnie and the people next door"
Why can be hungry when there's plenty of food?
The land is rich and the people are strong

(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright

(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Be alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Alright
(Everything is gonna be alright) Gonna be alright

(No woman no cry) Don't cry, don't cry
(No woman no cry) Don't cry, don't cry

(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry) Woman, no woman, no woman no cry
(No woman no cry) Don't cry
(No woman no cry)

(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry)
(No woman no cry)
