G Em Well, 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 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 the road straight ahead; C D the car was stalled, the engine was dead G Em I couldn t stop so I swerved to the right; C D never forget, the sound that night G Em The crying tires, the busting glass; C D G her painful scream that I heard last G Em Well, 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 got to be good; C D G so I can see my baby when I leave this world G Em Well, when I woke up the rain was pouring down; C D there were people, standing all around G Em Something warm , running in my eyes; C D but I found my baby somehow that night G Em I raised her head then she smiled and said C D hold me darling for a little while G Em I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss; C D I found a love, that I knew I would miss G Em And now she s gone, even though I hold her tight; C D G I lost my love, my life, that night G Em Well, 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 got to be good; C D G so I can see my baby when I leave this world G Em Hmmmmmmmmm 2x
