No Woman No Cry
Excerpt from the book “No Woman No Cry: My Life with Bob Marley”
The Multiracial Activist
by Rita Marley with Hettie Jones
May/June 2004
People ask what it’s like when I’m somewhere and suddenly Bob’s voice comes on the radio. But the thing about Bob is so deep, it is as if he’s always with me, there’s always something to remind me. So I don’t wait for his voice.
And he did promise me, before he finally closed his eyes, that he’d be here. It was May 11, 1981, and the doctors said he was dying of cancer and that there was no hope. But Bob was hanging on, he wouldn’t let go.
I had put his head in my arm, and I was singing “God Will Take Care of You.” But then I started to cry and said, “Bob, please, don’t leave me.”
