Will The Circle Be Unbroken

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.


When I hear 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.
