[Intro]
D B7
E A
[Verse 1]
E D A
I was driving down a lonely road, one dark and stormy night
E D E
When a little girl by the roadside showed up in my headlights
A E
I stopped and she got in back and in a shaky tone
D B7 E A
She said, "My name is Mary, please won't you take me home?"
[Verse 2]
E D A
She must have been so frightened, all alone there in the night
E D E
There was something strange about her, for her face was deadly white
A E
She sat so pale and quiet in the backseat all alone
D B7 E A
I never will forget that night I took Mary home
[Interlude]
D B7 E A
[Verse 3]
E D A
I pulled into the driveway where she told me to go
E D E
Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door
A E
But I just could not believe my eyes, the backseat was bare
D B7 E A
I looked all around the car, but Mary, she wasn't there
[Verse 4]
E D A
A light shone from the porch, someone opened up the door
E D E
I asked about the little girl that I was looking for
A E
Then a lady, smiling gently, brushed a tear away
D B7 E A
She said, "It sure was nice of you to go out of your way"
[Verse 5]
E D A
"But 13 years ago today, in a wreck just down the road
E D E
Our darling Mary lost her life and we miss her so
A E
So thank you for your kindness and the trouble you have shown
D B7 E A
But you're the 13th one that's been here bringing Mary home"
[Outro]
D B7 E A
