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
Something 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

(...Ooh ooh ooh...)
(...Ooh ooh ooh...)
