Biography

Producer [a=Frank Farian] created Boney M. as a studio project in 1974. On their first release, the single Baby Do You Wanna Bump (1975-02), Farian performed all vocals himself. Soon, however, TV stations started to demand Boney M. to perform the track on their shows, which made Farian form an actual group. After some initial changes, Frank Farian arrived at the lineup with which the group had their biggest successes: Maizie Williams, Marcia Barrett, Bobby Farrell and Liz Mitchell. The group's major breakthrough came in 1978 with Rivers Of Babylon, the second highest selling single of all time in the UK. Boney M. enjoyed over a dozen hit singles throughout Europe between 1976 and 1981. After Farrell was replaced by Reggie Tsiboe, Boney M. had two more hits in 1984. Frank Farian announced the end of Boney M. in 1986, but the group has continued in some form or other ever since. No new material has been released, except for a couple of singles and the odd new track on compilations. Numerous 'best of' compilations and remix albums have been released. All members continue performing with their own Boney M. formations even today, except for Tsiboe - and Farrell, who passed away in late 2010.

LYRICS

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, now
Good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
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 thru,
And while I'm gone
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
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I re, said I re, Said I remember
No woman no cry

You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry

No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
