The Wreck on the Highway

The Wreck on the Highway - Roy Acuff

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 was it 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

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
