My Baby's Gone

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
