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
