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