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.

Hang Your Head In Shame Lyrics

Ray Price

(Fred Rose - Ed G.Nelson - Steve Nelson)
Oh, don't your conscience ever bother you
Everytime you hear my name
Try to think of all that I've gone through
And hang your head in shame.
Someone came along and took my place
Then you gave me all the blame
You should go somewhere and hide your face
And hang your head in shame.
--- Instrumental ---
When you said I was the only one
Twas just your little game
Try to think of all the harm you've done
And hang your head in shame.
I should hate you but I love you still
In my heart I've kept the flame
You'll be sorry darling, yes you will
And hang your head in shame...
