E C#m
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
A B
The Lord took her away from me
E C#m
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
A B E
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
E C#m
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
A B
We hadn't driven very far
E C#m
There in the road, straight ahead
A B
The car was stalled, the engine was dead
E C#m
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
A B
Never forget the sound that night
E C#m
The screechin' tires, and the bustin' glass
A B E
The painful scream that I heard last
E C#m
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
A B
The Lord took her away from me
E C#m
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
A B E
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
E C#m
Well, when I woke up, the rain was fallin' down
A B
There were people standing all around
E C#m
Something warm running in my eyes
A B
But I found my baby somehow that night
E C#m
I raised her head, and then she smiled and said
A B
"Hold me darling for a little while"
E C#m
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
A B
I found the love that I knew I would miss
E C#m
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
A B E
I lost my love. my life, that night
