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
She said my name is Mary please
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
A light shown from the porch
a lady opened up the door
I asked about the little girl
In sadness she gently smiled
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
So thank you for your trouble and the
You're the thirteenth one that's
been here bringing Mary home
