BRINGING MARY HOME

Intro: C A D G

I was [D]driving down a lonely road on a [C]dark and stormy [G]night,
When a [D]little girl by the roadside showed [G]up in my head[D]lights,
I [G]stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky [D]tone,
She [C]said, "My name is [A]Mary please [D]won't you take me [G]home."

She [D]must have been so frightened all [C]alone there in the [G]night,
There was [D]someting strange about her, 'cause her [C]face was deathly [D]white,
She [G]sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all [D]alone,
I [C]never will [A]forget the night [D]I took Mary [G]home.

Intro chords: C A D G

I (D)pulled into the driveway where (C)she told me to(G) go,
Got (D)out to help her from the car and (G)opened up the (D)door,
But I(G) just could not believe my eyes, the back seat was(D) bare,
I (C)looked all (A)around the car, but (D)Mary wasn't (G)there.

A (D)light shone from the porch, a lady(C) opened up the (G)door,
I (D)asked about the little girl that (C)I was looking (D)for,
The(G) lady gently smiled and brushed a tear (D)away,
She(C) said, "It (A)sure was nice of you, to(D) go out of your (G)way."

"But (D)thirteen years ago tonight in a(C> wreck just down the (G)road,
Our (D)darling Mary lost her life (G)and we miss her (D)so,
Oh (G)thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have (D)shown
You're the (C)thirteenth stranger (A)that's been here, (D)bringing Mary(G) home."
