oh where ow 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 straigh 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

chorus

when i woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowing 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 had missed
well now she's gone even though i hold her tight
i lost my love my life that night

chorus
