[00:02.240]Oh where, oh where
[00:04.700]can my baby be
[00:07.410]The Lord took her
[00:08.760]away from me.
[00:10.960]She's gone to heaven
[00:13.40]so I've got to be good,
[00:14.980]so I can see my baby
[00:17.190]when I leave this world.
[00:21.70]
[00:23.550]We were out on a date
[00:25.530]in my daddy's car,
[00:28.60]we hadn't driven very far.
[00:31.790]There in the road,
[00:34.60]straight ahead,
[00:35.950]a car was stalled,
[00:38.490]the engine was dead.
[00:40.10]I couldn't stop,
[00:42.100]so I swerved to the right.
[00:44.420]I'll never forget
[00:46.190]the sound that night--
[00:48.640]the screamin tires,
[00:50.880]the bustin glass,
[00:52.870]the painful scream
[00:54.570]that I heard last.
[00:58.240]
[01:00.970]Oh where, oh where
[01:03.140]can my baby be?
[01:05.670]The Lord took her
[01:07.500]away from me.
[01:09.880]She's gone to heaven
[01:11.470]so I've got to be good,
[01:13.530]so I can see my baby
[01:15.700]when I leave this world.
[01:19.90]
[01:21.990]When I woke up,
[01:24.220]the rain was pourin down.
[01:25.990]There were people
[01:28.230]standin all around.
[01:30.590]Somethin warm
[01:32.400]flowin through my eyes,
[01:34.530]but somehow I found
[01:36.740]my baby that night.
[01:38.960]I lifted her head,
[01:40.640]she looked at me and said,
[01:42.920]"Hold me darlin just a little while."
[01:47.190]I held her close,
[01:49.39]I kissed her--our last kiss.
[01:51.440]I'd found the love
[01:53.259]that I knew I had missed.
[01:55.590]Well now she's gone,
[01:57.370]even though I hold her tight.
[01:59.820]I lost my love,
[02:01.540]my life that night.
[02:05.70]
[02:07.850]Oh where, oh where
[02:10.270]can my baby be?
[02:12.480]The Lord took her away from me.
[02:16.400]She's gone to heaven
[02:18.250]so I've got to be good,
[02:20.210]so I can see my baby
[02:22.460]when I leave this world.
[02:26.79]
[02:28.600](...ooh ooh ooh...)
[02:33.70](...oh oh oh oh...)

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
