Well where oh where can my baby be   the lord took her away from me   she's gone to heaven so I gotta 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 crying tires the busting glass   the painful scream that I heard last      well were oh where can my baby be   the lord took her away from me   she's gone to heaven so I gotta 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 round 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      well where oh where can my baby be   the lord took her away from me   she's gone to heaven so I gotta be good   So i can see my baby when i leave this world      hmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
