oh where oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I have 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, 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 have 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 runnin' through my eyes, 
but somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head. 
She looked at me and said, 
"Hold me darlin' 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 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 have to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
