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...

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 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

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...
