Pogues My Baby's Gone Lyrics

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
