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

(ooh ooh ooh)
(oh oh oh oh
