G Em Oh where, oh where can my baby be? C D The Lord took her away from me. G Em She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good, C D G so I can see my baby when I leave this world. G Em We were out on a date in my daddy's car, C D we hadn't driven very far. G Em There in road, straight ahead, C D a car was stalled and the engine was dead. G Em I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right, C D I'll never forget the sound that night. G Em The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass, C D G the painful scream that I heard last. G Em Oh where, oh where can my baby be? C D The lord took her away from me. G Em She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good, C D G so I can see my baby when I leave this world. G Em When I woke up the rain was pouring down, C D there were people standing all around. G Em Something warm was running through my eyes, C D but somehow I found my baby that night. G Em I lifted her head, she looked at me and said: C D "Hold me darling just a little while!" G Em I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, C D I found the love that I knew I would miss. G Em But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, C D G I lost my love, my life, that night. G Em Oh where, oh where can my baby be? C D The lord took her away from me. G Em She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good, C D G so I can see my baby when I leave this world. G Em C D G Em C D G Em C D
