[E] I was driving down a lonely [D] road, one dark [A] and stormy [E] night, when a little girl by the roadside [D] showed [E] up in my headlight.
[A] I stopped and she got in back, [E] and in a shaky tone, [D] she said, My [B] name is Mary, [E] please oh won't you [A] take me home.
She [E] must have been so frightened, [D] all alone [A] there in the night, [E] there was something strange about her, [D] her [E] face was deathly white.
She [A] sat so pale and silent, in her backseat [E] all alone, [D] I never will [B] forget the [E] night I took her [A] Mary home.
I [E] pulled into the driveway, [D] where she told [A] me to go, [E] got out to help her from the [Bm] car, and opened [E] up the door.
[A] I just could not believe my eyes, the backseat [E] was packed.
[D] I looked all [B] around the car, [E] but Mary [A] wasn't there.
[D] [Bm] [E] [A]
[E] The light shone from the porch, [D] a lady opened [A] up the door, [E] I asked about the little [D] girl that [E] I was looking for.
[A] In sadness she gently smiled, and brushed the [E] tear away, [D] she said it's [B] just nice of [E] you to go out [A] of your way.
[E] But thirteen years ago [D] tonight, in a wreck [A] just down the road, [E] our darling Mary lost her [D] life, and oh [E] we miss her so.
[A] Oh thank you for all your trouble, and the kindness [E] you have shown,
[D] you're the third people one, [B] that's [F#m] been [E] here bringing Mary [A] home.
[A] I stopped and she got in back, [E] and in a shaky tone, [D] she said, My [B] name is Mary, [E] please oh won't you [A] take me home.
