Bringing Mary Home
Recorded by Red Sovine
Written by Joe Kingston and Chaw Monk

D7D7                  C majorC        G+G
I was driving down a lonely road on a dark and stormy night
    D7D7                 C majorC      D7D7
When a little girl by the road side showed up in my headlights
 G+G                       D7D7
I stopped and she got in the back and in a shaky tone
  C majorC        A7A7       D7D7        G+G
She said My name is Mary and please won't you take me home

  D7D7                C majorC         G+G
She must have been so frightened all alone there in the night
     D7D7                  C majorC        D7D7
There was something strange about her cause her face was deathly white
  G+G                     D7D7
She sat so pale and quiet in the back seat all alone
 C majorC     A7A7          D7D7     G+G
I never will forget the night that I took Mary home

 D7D7               C majorC       G+G
I pulled into the drive way where she told me to go
  D7D7                C majorC       D7D7
Got out to help her from the car and opened up the door
   G+G                        D7D7
But I just could not believe my eyes the back seat was bare
 C majorC     A7A7         D7D7     G+G
I looked all around the car but Mary wasn't there

 D7D7              C majorC         G+G
A augmentedA light shone from the porch a lady opened up the door
 D7D7                C majorC       D7D7
I asked about the little girl that I was looking for
  G+G                      D7D7
The lady gently smiled at me and brushed a tear away
  C majorC        A7A7       D7D7       G+G
She said it sure was nice of you to go out of your way

    D7D7             C majorC          G+G
But thirteen years ago tonight in a wreck just down the road
  D7D7             C majorC        D7D7
Our darling Mary lost her life and we miss her so
  G+G                          D7D7
Oh thank you for your trouble and the kindness you have shown
      C majorC           A7A7    D7D7      G+G
You're the thirteenth one that's been here bringing Mary home
