Bringing Mary Home
Recorded by Red Sovine
Written by Joe Kingston and Chaw Monk
D7I was driving down a lonely road on a Cdark and stormy Gnight
When a D7little girl by the road side showed Cup in my headD7lights
I Gstopped and she got in the back and in a shaky D7tone
She Csaid My name is A7Mary and please D7won't you take me Ghome
She D7must have been so frightened all Calone there in the Gnight
There was D7something strange about her cause her Cface was deathly D7white
She Gsat so pale and quiet in the back seat all D7alone
I Cnever will A7forget the night that D7I took Mary Ghome
I D7pulled into the drive way where Cshe told me to Ggo
Got D7out to help her from the car and Copened up the D7door
But I Gjust could not believe my eyes the back seat was D7bare
I Clooked all A7around the car but D7Mary wasn't Gthere
A D7light shone from the porch a Clady opened up the Gdoor
I D7asked about the little girl that CI was looking D7for
The Glady gently smiled at me and brushed a tear D7away
She Csaid it sure was A7nice of you to D7go out of your Gway
But thirD7teen years ago tonight in a Cwreck just down the Groad
Our D7darling Mary lost her life Cand we miss her D7so
Oh Gthank you for your trouble and the kindness you have D7shown
You're the Cthirteenth one that's A7been here D7bringing Mary Ghome

Recorded by Red Sovine

Written by Joe Kingston and Chaw Monk

D7 C G

I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy night

D7 C D7

When a little girl by the road side showed up in my headlights

G D7

I stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky tone

C A7 D7 G

She said My name is Mary and please won't you take me home

D7 C G

She must have been so frightened all alone there in the night

D7 C D7

There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly white

G D7

She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all alone

C A7 D7 G

I never will forget the night that I took Mary home

D7 C G

I pulled into the drive way where she told me to go

D7 C D7

Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door

G D7

But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat was bare

C A7 D7 G

I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there

D7 C G

A light shone from the porch a lady opened up the door

D7 C D7

I asked about the little girl that I was looking for

G D7

The lady gently smiled at me and brushed a tear away

C A7 D7 G

She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way

D7 C G

But thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the road

D7 C D7

Our darling Mary lost her life and we miss her so

Oh thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown

C A7 D7 G

You're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
