"Coshieville" was by Stuart MacGregor and the earliest printed version I remember was in Chapbook, sometime in the 60s. And what about Roy Acuff's "Wreck on the Highway":

Who did you say it was brother,
Who was it fell by the way,
When whiskey and blood ran 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 heard the crash on the highway
I knew what it was from the start,
I went to the scene of destruction
And the picture was stamped on my heart.
There was whiskey and blood all together
Mixed with glass where they lay,
Death laid 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,
I heard the groans of the dying
But I didn't hear nobody pray.
