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, up 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 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 standing all around
something warm rollin' 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.
oooh~ ooooh~
