Oh, where oh where can my chino be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my chino when I leave this world

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 coal that night
The screaming tires, the busting glass
The painful scream, that I heard last

Oh, where oh where can my chino be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my chino when I leave this world

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down
There were ‘jakkers standing all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my chino that night

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love, that I knew I had missed
And now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night

Oh, where oh where can my chino be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my chino when I leave this world
