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, up 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 screamin' tires, the bustin' glass,
The painful scream that I heard 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 pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm rollin' 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 would miss
But now she's gone, even though I hold her 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.
Ooooooooh! Ooooh! Ooooooooooh!
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooooh! Ooooooooooh!
