Jim Reeves- He’ll Have To Go

已故鄉村歌星Jim Reeves在流行歌曲排行榜名次最好的歌是1959年底獲得三週第二名的 He’ll Have To Go，這一首歌後來也進入Grammy獎的名人堂。

Jim Reeves本名 James Travis Reeves 於1923年出生於德州Panola County，1964年因墜機喪生（40歲）， Jim Reeves的紳士形象給他贏得"Gentleman Jim"的外號，1963-1984年他有80首歌過進鄉村歌曲排行榜，他曾經對打職棒有過憧憬，但因腳裸受傷沒能如願而抱憾終生。

1950年代早期Jim Reeves曾經在路易斯安那州Hayride的KWKH電台當過DJ，1950年應Macy’s百貨公司之邀出第一張唱片，1963年還參加過電影Kimberley Jim的演出。

HE'LL HAVE TO GO

Jim Reeves                                             

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone

Let's pretend that we're together all alone

I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true

Or is he holding you the way I do

Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know

Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can't say the words I want to hear

While you're with another man

Do you want me answer yes or no

Darling I will understand

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone

Let's pretend that we're together all alone

I'll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
