C                     Am
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
F                  G
The Lord took her away from me.
C                          Am
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
   F                        G
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.

[Use your palm to drum the guitar like the song]

We were out on a date in my daddy's car.

We hadn't driven very far.

There in the road, straight ahead ...

The car was stalled, the engine was dead.

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.

Never forget the sound that night ...

The screamintires, the bustin' glass.

The painful scream that I heard last.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?

The Lord took her away from me.

She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,

so I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.

There were people standing all around.

Something warm falling through my eyes,

but  somehow I found my baby  that night.

I lifted her head, and she looked at me , and said,

"Hold me darling for a little while."

I held her close.  I kissed her our last kiss.

I found the love that I knew I would miss.

But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.

I lost my love ... my life, that night.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?

The Lord took her away from me.

She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,

So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
