Happy Birthday!

Singer / songwriter (many)/ mill worker,

Dorsey Murdock Dixon

born 10/14/1897

         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?
  
                  "Wreck on the Highway," written by Dorsey in late 1937
                       after a serious road accident near Rockingham [NC]
                It was originally recorded under the title "Didn't Hear Nobody Pray"
