Wreck On The Highway (Crash On The Highway)

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

I went to the scene of destruction
There was blood mixed with glass where they lay
I heard the moans of the dying
But I didn’t hear nobody pray

I hate to tell this sad story
That I am now telling to you
It was so sad and so gory
I couldn’t believe it was true.
