[Chorus]
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
—
[Verse 1]
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
—
[Chorus]
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
—
[Verse 2]
When I woke up, the rain was pourin’ down
There were people standin’ 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
Well, now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
—
Chorus
