Wreck on the Highway

Roy Acuff

Compositor: Dorsey M. Dixon

Who did you say it was brother?
Who was it fell by the way?
When whiskey and blood run together
Did you hear anyone pray?

Chorus
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I heard the crash on the highway
But, i didn't hear nobody pray.

When i heard the crash on the highway
I knew what it was from the start
I went to the scene of destruction
And a picture was stamped on my heart.

There was whiskey and blood all together
Mixed with glass where they lay
Death played her hand in destruction
But i didn't hear nobody pray.

I wish i could change this sad story
That i am now telling you
But there is no way i can change it
For somebody's life is now through.

Their soul has been called by the master
They died in a crash on the way
And i heard the groans of the dying
But, i didn't hear nobody pray.

Chorus
