Late 'fifties, early 'sixties, there was a popular rock & roll song on the vanishing hitchhiker theme. It was not Bringing Mary Home. It was, however very similar in story line, except that, because his strange passenger is chilled, the young man gives her his suit coat, and she still has it when she vanished. The next day, when he returns to the house to which he took her, he is told that she was killed years ago in a wreck, and that she is buried in a nearby cemetery. He visits the cemetery and finds his coat folded neatly over the tombstone. I would appreciate help in identifying this song.
