E C#m A B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E C#m A
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
B E
leave this world
[Verse 1]
E C#m A B
We were out on a date in my daddy's car, we hadn't driven very far
E C#m A B
There in the road, it was straight ahead, the car was stalled, the engine was dead
E C#m A B
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, never forget the sound that night
E C#m A E
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass, the painful scream that I heard last
[Chorus]
E C#m A B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E C#m A
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
B E
leave this world
[Verse 2]
E C#m A B
Well when I woke up, the rain was pouring down, there were people standing all around
E C#m A B
Something warm a-runnin' in my eyes, but I found my baby somehow that night
E C#m A B
I raised her head, and when she smiled and said, "Hold me darling just a little while",
E C#m A B
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss, I found the love that I knew that I'd miss
E C#m A B E
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life, that night
[Chorus]
E C#m A B
Well, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me
E C#m A
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good, so I can see my baby when I
B E
leave this world
[Outro]
