bringing mary home - the willis brothers lyrics

[intro]
i never will forget the night
that i took mary home

[verse 1]
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 the car, she got in the back
and in a shaky tone
she said, “my name is mary
please won’t you take me home?”

[verse 2]
now, she must have been so frightened
all alone there in the night
and there was something so strange about her
her face was deathly white
she sat so pale and so very quiet
in the backseat all alone
i never will forget the night
that i took mary home

[verse 3]
i pulled into the driveway
where she had told me to go
i got out to help her from the car
and as i opened up the door
well, i just could not believe my eyes
the backseat, it was bare
i looked all around the car
but mary wasn’t there
[verse 4]
but a small light shone from the porch
and as someone opened up the door
i asked the lady about the little girl
that i had been looking for
she gently smiled and with her hand
she brushed a tear away
she said, “it sure was nice of you
to go out of your way”

[verse 5]
“but just 13 years ago today
in a wreck just down the road
our darling mary lost her life
and we sure miss her so
but thank you for all your trouble
and for the kindness that you have shown
you’re the 13th one who’s been here
bringing mary home”

[outro]
i never will forget the night
that i took mary home
