Oh where, oh where
Could 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
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 screaming tires,
The bustin' glass;
The painful scream that I heard last.
Oh where, oh where
Could 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 standin' all around.
Somethin' war rollin' from 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 know I had missed.
Now she's gone,
Even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life, that night.
Oh where, oh where
Could 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.
