G Em
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
C D
The Lord took her away from me.
G Em
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
C D
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
G E
We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
C D
We hadn't driven very far.
G E
There in the road, straight ahead ...
C D
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.
G E
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
C D
Never forget the sound that night ...
G E
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass.
C D
The painful scream that I heard last.

G E
Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
C D
There were people standing all around.
G E
Something warm running in my eyes,
C D
but I found my baby somehow that night.
G E
I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said,
C D
"Hold me darling for a little while."
G E
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.
C D
I found the love that I knew I would miss
G E
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
C D
I lost my love ... my life, that night.
