My Baby's Gone Lyrics - Pogues

You gotta weep, you gotta wail 

You gotta drag yourself on hands 

And knees bleedin' another mile along the trail 

You gotta laugh in the face of the devil 

When he's hanging on to your shirt tail 

You gotta hold down the lid of the coffin 

Hammer in the last nail 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

You gotta live, you gotta learn 

How to find your way to the end of the night 

When there's nowhere left to turn 

How to keep the last embers of the fire alight 

When there's nothin' left to burn 

How to say goodbye to the ashes that fly 

From the cheap metal urn 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

She said, "Go to sleep, you gotta save 

Your anger and rage for the livin' 

'Cause they're no damn good in the grave 

Don't waste your time in forgivin' 

The ones who just don't know how to behave 

There's Heaven and Hell in the world that you live in 

But I'm in a different place" 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me 

My baby's gone so far away 

She's never comin' back to me
