^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
