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