BRINGING MARY HOME
(Capo on Second Fret)
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".
