Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I 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 up 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, the busting 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 got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world When I woke up, the rain was pouring down There were people standing all around Something warm running through my eyes But somehow I found my baby that night I lifted her head, she looked at me and said Hold me, darling, just a little while I held her close, I kissed her, our last kiss I found the love that I knew I would miss But 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 got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world Ooh, ooh-ooh
