	        D7                                    C               G 
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
