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
