Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven
so I've 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 screaming tires
the busting 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've got to be good
So I can see my baby
when I leave this world

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'd 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

Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven
so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby
when I leave this world
