oh where oh where can my baby be? the lord took her away from me she's gone to heaven so i got to be good so i can see my baby when i leave this world we were out on a date in my daddy's car we hadn't driven very far there in the road straight ahead a car was stalled the engine was dead i couldn't stop so i swerved to the right i'll never forget the sound that night the screaming tires, the busting glass the painful scream that i heard at last oh where oh where can my baby be? the lord took her away from me she's gone to heaven so i got to be good so i can see my baby when i leave this world when i woke up the rain was pouring down there were people standing all around something warm flowing through my eyes but somehow i found my baby that night i lifted her head she looked at me and said hold me darling just a little while i held her close i kissed her our last kiss i found the love that i knew i had missed well now she's gone even through i hold the tight i lost my love, my life, that night oh where oh where can my baby be? the lord took her away from me she's gone to heaven so i got to be good so i can see my baby when i leave this world
