Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires, the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
[Verse 4]
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
Hold me, darling, just a little while
I held her close, I kissed her, our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
[Verse 5]
Well, now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
[Chorus]
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
