I was driving down a lonely road one dark and stormy nightWhen a little girl by the roadside showed up in my headlightsI stopped and she got in back and in a shaky toneShe said: My name is Mary, please won't you take me home?She must have been so frightened all alone there in the nightThere was something strange about her, for her face was deathly whiteShe sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all aloneI'll never will forget that night I took Mary homeI pulled into the driveway where she told me to goGot out to help her from the car and opened up the doorBut I just could not believe my eyes 'cause the back seat was bareI looked all around the car but Mary wasn't thereA light shone from the porch, someone opened up the doorI asked about the little girl that I was looking forThen a lady gently smiled and brushed a tear awayShe said: It sure was nice of you to go out of your wayBut thirteen years ago today a wreck just down the roadOur darling Mary lost her life and we miss her soThank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shoneYou're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home From Letras Mania
