I am looking for a song that goes  something like this: "Way up in
West Virginia, before midnight and dawn a big blue car went rolling,
it's wheels they sang a song"  Would like to know the song and the
rest of the words.

Hello.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your song is probably
"DEATH OF HANK WILLIAMS" (1953) by Jack Cardwell.

Logically, this song would make sense because Hank Williams died while
driving in a West Virginia in blue car, specifically a blue Cadillac.

The complete lyrics to the song do not appear to be online, but the
song does appear be on a CD called " 50 Years Of Country Music! Vol.
17," available from towerrecords.com

Unfortunately, the sound clips on Tower's page seem to start midway
through the song and do not contain the beginning lyrics.

search strategy: "way up in west virginia", "midnight and dawn"

I hope this helps. If this is not the right song, please let me know
by using the "request clarification" feature. Thanks.

Absolutely brilliant, juggler-ga! Bravo!
