Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've 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, 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've 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 standin all around
Somethin warm flowin 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'd 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've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
