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
