Aha - that didn't take long! My 45 is by a group called "Wednesday" - the songwriter is "M. Cochran". Its on Sussex Records.

Lyrics to the best of my rememberability:

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
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sounds that night
Crying tires and bustin" glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Chorus:
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.

There is a second and perhaps third verse, but thats the extent of my memory - I can't play the 45 right now. I'll give it a listen tomorrow and correct anything above and add the rest - unless someone beats me to it. That happens alot around here.
