Bringing Mary Home (BG)

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