Lyric discussion by MrMojoRisin5552 

For a long time I thought Bob was saying that if you don't have a woman you have nothing to be sad about (no woman = no cry), but after reading the lyrics its obvious that he is talking to his girlfriend (or another girl) who is crying and he is telling her not to cry, and telling her to forget the past, and he reminds her of the good memories, and the fact that everything's gonna be alright. This song is great.

This is an under appreciated song. It is a song that came out of Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer's years performing at the Casbah, which was a soup kitchen for Trenchtown (a ghetto in Kingston). The song seems to look back to those years with the girl Marley married (but whom he met at the Casbah). It's a song looking back at the years of being poor with nothing but other people (good friends) and love and not much else.

@MrMojoRisin5552 He is telling a woman not to cry because he is going on a journey and he will not forget about her or his friends and root\'s, his feet is his only carriage and he\'s got to push on through. While iam gone everything is going to be alright.
