Well, 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 that 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...
Well, 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
This world.
Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Somethin' warm running in my eyes,
But I found my baby somehow that night.
I raised her head and then she smiled and said,
"Hold me, darlin', 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.
Well, 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 that I can see my baby when I leave
This world.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
