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
OOh ooh
