(Wayne Cochran)

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

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

When I woke up the rain was pourin' down

There were people standin' all around

Something warm flowing through my eyes

But somehow I found my baby that night

I lifted her head she looked at me and said:

"Hold me darling, just a little while"

I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss

I found the love that I knew I would miss

Well now she's gone

Even though I hold her tight

I lost my love, my life, that night

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
