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'd missed

now she's gone, even thought 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.
