Blog Song

Finally changed the blog song. It's "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley. It's an inspirational song dedicated to Trenchtown, where Bob Marley spent most of his youth. His message is to tell the people in the ghettos of Trenchtown to be strong and not worry about their suffering, because, as he says in the song, "Ev'rything's gonna be alright". The eponymous line "No, woman, no cry" is actually sung, "no, woman, nuh cry", the nuh being the contraction of "no" in Jamaican Patois, which is a dilect of english. It has the same meaning as "don't". So the title actually means, "no woman, don't cry".

The song was credited to a friend of his called Vincent Ford, known as Tata to his friends. Ford ran a soup kitchen in Trenchtown, which literally saved Bob Marley from starving to death. By crediting the song to Ford, Marley hoped that the royalties would give him a better life, and help run the soup kitchen. It is unclear whether Ford actually wrote the song.

No Woman no cry:
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember
when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
As they would mingle with the
good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh,
good friends we've 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.
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember
when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood 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.
But while I'm gone, I mean:

Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood 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.
But while I'm gone:

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin', say
don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

Eh! (Little darlin', don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
