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