G5                     E5
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
C5                  D5
The lord took her away from me
G5                         E5
She s gone to heaven so I got to be good;
   C5                        D5          G5
so I can see my baby when I leave this world

        G5                   E5
We were out on a date in my daddy s car;
C5                D5
we hadn t driven very far
G5                 E5
There in the road straight ahead;
    C5                    D5
the car was stalled, the engine was dead
G5                    E5
I couldn t stop so I swerved to the right;
C5                 D5
never forget, the sound that night
    G5                 E5
The crying tires, the busting glass;
    C5                   D5       G5
her painful scream that I heard last

G5                        E5
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
C5                  D5
The lord took her away from me
G5                         E5
She s gone to heaven so I got to be good;
   C5                        D5          G5
so I can see my baby when I leave this world

G5                                 E5
Well, when I woke up the rain was pouring down;
C5                           D5
there were people, standing all around
G5                       E5
Something warm , running in my eyes;
      C5                 D5
but I found my baby somehow that night
  G5                        E5
I raised her head then she smiled and said
 C5                     D5
 hold me darling for a little while
  G5                            E5
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss;
  C5                    D5
I found a love, that I knew I would miss
    G5                             E5
And now she s gone, even though I hold her tight;
  C5                D5          G5
I lost my love, my life, that night

G5                           E5   
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
C5                  D5        
The lord took her away from me
G5                         E5           
she s gone to heaven so I got to be good;
C5                           D5          G5
so I can see my baby when I leave this world
