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 
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.
