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, up 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 screamin' tires, the bustin' 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 pourin' down
 There were people standing all around
 Something warm runnin' in 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 would miss
 But 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. 
Oh, oh.
