Les paroles de la chanson
« My baby's gone »
The Pogues

You got to weep

You got to wail

You got to drag yourself on hands and knees bleeding

Another mile along the trail

You got to laugh in the face of the devil

When he’s hanging on to your shirt tail

You got to hold down the lid of the coffin

And hammer in the last nail



My baby’s gone so far away

She’s never coming back to me



You got to live

You got to 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 nothing 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 coming back to me



She said go to sleep

You got to save

Your anger and rage for the living

’Cause they’re no damn good in the grave



And don’t waste your time in forgiving

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 coming back to me
