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 up 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 When I woke up, the rain was pouring down There were people standin' all around Something warm going 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 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
