well 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
when there in the road, strait ahead
the car was stalled, the engine was dead
i could'nt stop so i swirved to the right
i'll never forget the soubd at night:
the crying 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 got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world

well when i woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm running in my eyes
but i found my baby somehow that night
i raised her head and when
she smiled and siad:
"hold me darling for 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, and even though i held her tight
i lost the love of 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 got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave this world
