The Wreck On The Highway

Roy Acuff


Tom: A

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

CHORUS

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
  D                   A
I  didn't hear nobody  pray

I heard the crash on the highway
                   E       A  
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

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
  D                   A
I  didn't hear nobody  pray

I heard the crash on the highway
                   E       A  
But, I didn't hear  nobody  pray.
