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 cryin' tires, the bustin' glass. The painful scream that I heard last.

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' 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, and when she smiled, and said, "Hold me darling for 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.
