Chorus: A F#m We were away with my baby bee, D E The lord took him away from me, A F#m He’s gone to heaven so I got to be good D E A So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Verse 1: A F#m We were out on a trip with my daddy’s car, D E We hadn’t driven very far, A F#m And there in the road, straight ahead, D E A car was standing and the engine was dead,
A F#m I couldn’t stop so I steer to the right D E I’ll never forget that sound at night, A F#m The crying tires and the bursting glass, D E A The peoples scream that I heard last
Chorus: A F#m We were away with my baby bee, D E The lord took him away from me, A F#m He’s gone to heaven so I got to be good D E A So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Verse 2: A F#m When I woke up the rain was pouring down, D E And there were people standing all around, A F#m And something warm was running in my eyes, D E But I found my baby somehow that night,
A F#m I raised his hand and then he smiled and said: D E “Hold me darling for a little while” A F#m I held him close I kissed him a last kiss, D E I found that love that I know I would miss,
Bridge: A F#m But now he’s gone I never thought I’d hold him tight, D E A I lost my love of my life, that night
Chorus: A F#m We were away with my baby bee, D E The lord took him away from me, A F#m He’s gone to heaven so I got to be good D E A So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Outro: A F#m Hmmmm D E Hmmmm A F#m Aaaah aaaa D E A Oooh oooh
