Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others. Price developed the famous "Ray Price Shuffle Beat" that is heard on "Crazy Arms," which served as the beat for many honky-tonk classics since then.

I walked one day neath the summer sky and my heart was young and alone was I
She came along and I fancied heard the beatiful music of greensleeves
She held my hand happiness complete and we kissed that night as we vowed to meet
The promisses that she made we sweet just as sweet as the music of greensleeves
I walked one day neath the winter sky and my heart was sad and alone was I
Can't believe that we said goodbye and I cried to the music of greensleeves
Gone gone is the love we knew and the beatiful music of greensleeves
