johnny gray - bringing mary home lyrics

[verse 1]
i was driving down a lonely road
one dark and stormy night
when a little girl by the roadside
showed up in my headlights
i stopped and she got in back
and in a shaky tone
she said, “my name is mary
please won’t you take me home?”

[verse 2]
she must have been so frightened
all alone there in the night
there was something strange about her
for her face was deadly white
she sat so pale and quiet
in the backseat all alone
i nevеr will forget that night
i took mary home

[interlude]

[verse 3]
i pulled into thе driveway
where she told me to go
got out to help her from the car
and opened up the door
but i just could not believe my eyes
the backseat was bare
i looked all around the car
but mary, she wasn’t there
[verse 4]
a light shone from the porch
someone opened up the door
i asked about the little girl
that i was looking for
then a lady, smiling gently
brushed a tear away
she said, “it sure was nice of you
to go out of your way”

[verse 5]
“but 13 years ago today
in a wreck just down the road
our darling mary lost her life
and we miss her so
so thank you for your kindness
and the trouble you have shown
but you’re the 13th one that’s been here
bringing mary home”
