Well, 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 that 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

Well, 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
this world

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Somethin' warm running in my eyes,
But I found my baby somehow that night
I raised her head and then she smiled 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 would miss,
But now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life,
That night

Well, 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 that I can see my baby when I leave
This world

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
