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 Know I'll Never Win Your Love Again Lyrics

Ray Price

(Bobby Helms - Ray Price)
Day and night I worry over you
I'm payin' now for bein' so untrue
I pray each night although it seems in vain
I know I'll never win your love again.
I won your love for such a precious jewel
You pleaded dear and yet I was so cruel
A love so rare cannot be bound and chained
I know I'll never win your love again.
--- Instrumental ---
I try so hard to change what cannot be
And yet how weak my efforts seem to me
In fate's cruel hands forever I'll remain
I know I'll never win your love again.
Within my heart there'll always be a chill
Until at last it's beating shall be still
My weary soul will find it's journey's end
I know I'll never win your love again...
