I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy nightWhen a little girl by the road side showed up in my head lightsI stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky toneShe said my name is Mary please won't you take me homeShe must have been so frightened all alone there in the nightThere was something strange about her cause her face was deathly whiteShe sat so pale and quiet there in the back seat all aloneI 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 the back seat was bareI looked all around the car but Mary wasn't thereA light shown from the porch a lady opened up the doorI asked about the little girl that I was looking forIn sadness she gently smiled and brushed a tear awayShe said it sure was nice of you to go out of your wayBut thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the roadOur darling Mary lost her life and all miss her soSo thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shownYou're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
