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
  Up 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 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 for 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

  Oooooh
