THE WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY

Recorded by Roy Acuff

Written by Dorsey Dixon

[A] Who did you say it was brother?

Who was it fell by the [E] way?

When [A] whiskey and blood run together

Did you hear [E] anyone [A] pray?

CHORUS

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother

I [D] didn't hear nobody [A] pray

I heard the crash on the highway

But, I didn't hear [E] nobody [A] 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
