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 OoooohOriginally by Wayne Cochran in '62.
I like the rare live version played by Pearl Jam.
