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 I will never forget the sound that night The crying tires, the busting 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 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, and then 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 world
