Who did you say it was, brother?
Who was it died on 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 saw the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
I heard the crash on the highway
I knew what it was from the start
When I reached the scene of destruction
This picture was stamped on my heart
There was blood and whiskey together
Mixed with the glass where they lay
Death laid 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 saw the wreck on the highway,
but I didn't hear nobody pray
I wish I could change this sad story,
that I'm now telling to you
But there is no way I can
Somebody's life is now through
They died in a wreck on the way
I heard the moans of the dying
But I didn't hear nobody pray
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
But I saw the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
But I saw the wreck on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray you
