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 Hmmmmmmmmm (2x)
