Last Kiss:Wayne Cochran And The C.C. Riders.
Recorded on GALA Records in 1961. (DNC, why,
I don t know. J.Frank Wilson pushed it to #2
in 1964 and then Pearl Jam ressurected it.
Personally, I like Cochran s (he wrote it)
version better.
INTRO:
CHORUS:
Oh, where, oh, where, can my baby be..?
the Lord took her away from me.
She s gone to Heaven so I ve got to be good..
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
#2.
We were out on a date, in my daddy s car..
we hadn t driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead..a car was
stalled, the engine was dead.
#3.
I couldn t stop, so I swerved to the right..
I ll never forget the sound that night.
The cryin tires, the bustin glass..
the painful scream that I heard last.
CHORUS:
Oh, where, oh, where, can my baby be..?
the Lord took her away from me.
She s gone to Heaven so I ve got to be good..
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
#4.
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down..
there were people standin all around.
Something warm running in my eyes..
but, I found my baby, somehow, that night.
#5.
I raised her head, then she smiled and said..
hold me darlin , just a little while.
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss..
I found the love that I knew I would miss.
Well, now she s gone, even though I hold her tight..
I lost my love, my life that night.
CHORUS:
Oh, where, oh, where, can my baby be..?
the Lord took her away from me.
She s gone to Heaven so I ve got to be good..
so I can see my baby when I leave this world.
OUTRO:

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-
oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo..(Fade.)
