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
There in the road, straight ahead
The car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
Never forget the sound that night
The screechin' tires, and 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 fallin' 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 then she smiled and said
"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, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love. my life, that night
Repeat Chorus
