Oh, where oh where can my baby be?The Lord took her away from meShe’s gone to heaven, so I got to be goodSo I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy’s carWe hadn’t driven very farThere in the road, straight aheadA car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the rightI’ll never forget, the sound that nightThe screamin’ tires, the bustin’ glassThe painful scream, that I heard last
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?The Lord took her away from meShe’s gone to heaven, so I got to be goodSo I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up, the rain was pourin’ downThere were people standing all aroundSomething warm flowin’ through my eyesBut 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 kissI found the love, that I knew I had missedAnd now she’s gone, even though I hold her tightI lost my love, my life that night
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?The Lord took her away from meShe’s gone to heaven, so I got to be goodSo I can see my baby when I leave this world
