Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've 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 up ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down
There were people standin' all around
Something warm going through my eyes
But somehow, I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darlin', just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew, I had missed
Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down
There were people standin' all around
Something warm going through my eyes
But somehow, I found my baby that night
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
