I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy night
D7 C D7
When a little girl by the road side showed up in my headlights
G D7
I stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky tone
C A7 D7 G
She said My name is Mary and please won't you take me home
D7 C G
She must have been so frightened all alone there in the night
D7 C D7
There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly white
G D7
She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all alone
C A7 D7 G
I never will forget the night that I took Mary home
D7 C G
I pulled into the drive way where she told me to go
D7 C D7
Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door
G D7
But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat was bare
C A7 D7 G
I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there
D7 C G
A light shone from the porch a lady opened up the door
D7 C D7
I asked about the little girl that I was looking for
G D7
The lady gently smiled at me and brushed a tear away
C A7 D7 G
She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way
D7 C G
But thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the road
D7 C D7
Our darling Mary lost her life and we miss her so
G D7
Oh thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown
C A7 D7 G
You're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
