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.



(...ooh ooh ooh...)
