Bringing Mary Home Lyrics

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