I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy night
When a little girl by the road side showed up in my head lights
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 cause her face was deathly white
She sat so pale and quiet there in 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 just could not believe my eyes the back seat was bare
I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there
A light shown from the porch a lady opened up the door
I asked about the little girl that I was looking for
In sadness she gently smiled and 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 all miss her so
So thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown
You're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
