I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy night
When a little girl by the roadside showed up in my headlights
I stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky tone
She said, "My name is Mary, please won't you take me home?"
She must have been so frightened, all alone there in the night
There was something strange about her, her face was deathly white
She sat so pale and silent on the back seat all alone
I never will forget that night I took Mary home
I pulled into the driveway where she told me to go
Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door
But I could not believe my eyes, the back seat was bare
I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there
A small light shone from the porch, a woman opened up the door
I asked about the little girl that I was looking for
Then the lady gently smiled as she brushed a tear away
She said, "It sure was nice of you to go out of your way"
But thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the road
Our darling Mary lost her life and we still miss her so
So thank you for your troubles and the kindness you have shown
You're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home
You're the thirteenth one who's been here bringing Mary home
