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 ol' 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, 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 ol' world
Well, when I woke up The rain was pourin' down There were people standing all around Something warm a-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
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 ol' world
