Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She 's gone to heaven so I 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, strait 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 screaming tires, the busting 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 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 standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
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 'd miss.
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 got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
