Ray Price - A Maiden's Prayer Lyrics






Twilight falls,
Evening shadows find,
There 'neath the stars a maiden so fair divine.

The moon on high seemed to see her there,
In her eyes was a light shining ever so bright,
As she whisper'd a silent pray'r.

Ev'ry word revealed an empty, broken heart;
Broken by fate that holds them so far apart.

Lonely there she kneels, and tells the stars above,
In her arms he belongs, then her pray'r is a song,
Her unending song of love.

    I would welcome a full-blown revival of Western Swing and western music! I've been doing my best buying music from George Strait, Alan Jackson, Asleep at the Wheel and others. But I can't do it alone. C'mon kids help me out and get good music back on the airwaves again!

    Loved that Ray Price sound from first hearing it back about 51 or so, Ray had several singing styles from early hard country through the Ray Price Shuffle,then the Smoth sound of later years, all were the greatest.no one matches that Ray Price sound.

    Simply the best fiddle record ever--not to mention Ray's great voice!!

    I used to have this album on vinyl and played it all the time.  I didn't know until just a few years ago that Willie Nelson was playing bass on this album.  Ray needed a bass player and asked Willie if he played bass.  Willie said, "Sure," and got hired.  He had never played bass before in his life, but quickly turned into a pretty good bass player.

    t.... ....

    Wow, who knew?!

    t.... ....

    Joe Zinkan played bass on this recording,Willie played with his road band
