The Year That Clayton Delaney Died - Tom T. Hall[00:00:01]
Written by:Tom T. Hall[00:00:03]
I remember the year that clayton delaney died[00:00:06]
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried[00:00:12]
It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid[00:00:18]
They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did[00:00:24]
Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town[00:00:30]
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow clayton around[00:00:36]
Clayton used to tell me son you better put that old guitar away[00:00:43]
There ain't no money in it it'll lead you to an early grave[00:00:49]
Well daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand[00:00:55]
I knew he used to pick up in ohio with a five-piece band[00:01:01]
I often wondered why clayton who seemed so good to me[00:01:07]
Never took his guitar and made it down in tenn-o-see[00:01:13]
I guess if I'd admit it clayton taught me how to drink booze[00:01:19]
I can see him half-stoned a-pickin' out the lovesick blues[00:01:25]
When clayton died I made him a promise I was gonna carry on somehow[00:01:31]
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now[00:01:37]
I remember the year that clayton delaney died[00:01:44]
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried[00:01:50]
Well I know there's a lotta big preachers[00:01:56]
That know a lot more than I do[00:01:59]
But it could be that the good lord likes a little pickin' too[00:02:02]
Yeah I remember the year that clayton delaney died[00:02:08]
