Shakin' Stevens — My Baby Died

My girl and I went for a ride one night The sky was dark but the moon was bright My ford it gleamed with shiny chrome I didn't know I’d never take her home We met Johnny who was jealous of me He'd challenged us to a race you see My girl said no, this you mustn't do But my show down with Johnny was way over due Johnny was driving in a hot rod car I started the ford from my ma and pa My car went fast, but Johnny went like a jet My fists got clammy and all covered in sweat We pushed ninety at the turnpike bend If we don’t stop, it's going to be the end As we rode round the corner, I saw a mother and child I swerved to the side but my steering went wide My car hit Johnny all I saw was flames With my hand I held onto my chain I got out the car and fell on the street I was I'd lost the one who made life sweet Her fine young body was all battered and torn And I was left with a ring she'd never worn I picked her up and walked away Though she's gone her love was here to stay Oooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
