Wreck on the Highway
Roy Acuff, from Dorsey Dixon's "I Didn't
Hear Nobody Pray"
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?
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 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
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
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
