Ranked No. 1 in Reggae
The live version, because the studio take is merely very good. Seven minutes in which a man consoles a room by describing a yard in Trenchtown, and the organ line does half the consoling.

Picked by Sung to Someone
Not a title about women in general, whatever fifty years of misquotation suggest. It is "no, woman, don't cry" — said to one person sitting in the government yard, and everything else in it is what he is telling her to remember.

No Woman, No Cry
1975 · Island
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
Seven minutes of a man consoling a room by describing a yard. The most widely loved record here, and it earns every bit of that.
