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, 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 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've 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 standin all around. Somethin warm flowin through my eyes, but somehow I found my baby that night. I lifted her head, she looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin 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.
