oh where oh where can my baby be

  the lord took her away from me

  now shes 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 daddys car

  we hadn't driven very far

  up in the road straight ahead

  the car was stalled, the engine was dead

  i couldn't miss it so i swereved to the right

  never forget the sound i heard that night

  the squeling tires the busting glass

  her painful scream that i heard last

  well, where oh where can my baby be

  the lord took her away from me

  now shes 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 coming down

  there were people standing all around

  something warm running in my eyes

  but i found my baby somehow that night

  i raised her head as she smiled and said

  hold me close for a little while

  i held her tight i kissed her our last kiss

  i found a love that i knew that i'd miss

  and now shes gone even though i hold her tight

  i lost my life, my love, that night

  so where oh where can my baby be

  the lord took her away from me

  well now shes gone to heaven so i got to be good

  so i can see my baby when i leave this world
