Bringing Mary Home Written by Joe Kingston and Chaw MonkG D7 C GI was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy nightD7 C D7When a little girl by the road side showed up in my headlightsG D7I stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky toneC A7 D7 GShe said My name is Mary and please won't you take me homeD7 C GShe must have been so frightened all alone there in the nightD7 C D7There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly whiteG D7She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all aloneC A7 D7 GI never will forget the night that I took Mary homeD7 C GI pulled into the drive way where she told me to goD7 C D7Got out to help her from the car and opened up the doorG D7But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat was bareC A7 D7 GI looked all around the car but Mary wasn't thereD7 C GA light shone from the porch a lady opened up the doorD7 C D7I asked about the little girl that I was looking forG D7The lady gently smiled at me and brushed a tear awayC A7 D7 GShe said it sure was nice of you to go out of your wayD7 C GBut thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the roadD7 C D7Our darling Mary lost her life and we miss her soG D7Oh thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shownC A7 D7 GYou're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
