ChorusGEm
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
CD
The Lord took her away from me.
GEm
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
CDG
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
VerseGEm
We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
CD
We hadn't driven very far.
GEm
There in the road, straight ahead ...
CD
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.
GEm
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
CD
Never forget the sound that night ...
GEm
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass.
CDG
The painful scream that I heard last.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
CD
The Lord took her away from me.
GEm
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
CDG
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
VerseGEm
Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
CD
There were people standing all around.
GEm
Something warm running in my eyes,
CD
but I found my baby somehow that night.
GEm
I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said,
CD
"Hold me darling for a little while."
GEm
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.
CD
I found the love that I knew I would miss
GEm .
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
CDG
I lost my love ... my life, that night.
ChorusGEm
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
CD
The Lord took her away from me.
GEm
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
CDG
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
