 Well, 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 straight ahead;

 the car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldn t stop so I swerved to the right;

never forget, the sound that night

 The crying 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

She s gone to heaven so I got to be good;

 so I can see my baby when I leave this world

Well, when I woke up the rain was pouring 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 then she smiled and said

  hold me darling for a little while

 I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss;

 I found a love, that I knew I would miss

 And 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 got to be good;

so I can see my baby when I leave this world
