The Year That Clayton Delaney Died - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)[00:00:00]
I remember the year[00:00:08]
That Clayton Delaney died[00:00:10]
They said for the last two weeks[00:00:15]
That he suffered and cried[00:00:18]
It made a big impression on me [00:00:23]
Although I was a barefoot kid[00:00:26]
They said he got religion[00:00:30]
At the end and I'm glad that he did[00:00:32]
Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town[00:00:38]
I thought he was a hero and[00:00:44]
I used to follow Clayton around[00:00:47]
I often wondered why Clayton [00:00:52]
Who seemed so good to me[00:00:55]
Never took his guitar and made it down[00:01:00]
In Tenn-o-see[00:01:02]
Well daddy said he drank a lot [00:01:07]
But I could never understand[00:01:09]
I knew he used to pick up in Ohio[00:01:14]
With a five-piece band[00:01:16]
And Clayton used to tell me [00:01:21]
"Son you better put[00:01:23]
That old guitar away"[00:01:24]
There ain't no money in it [00:01:29]
Itll lead you to an early grave[00:01:30]
I guess if I'd admit it [00:01:36]
Clayton taught me how to drink booze[00:01:38]
I can see him half-stoned a-pickin[00:01:43]
Out the lovesick blues[00:01:45]
When Clayton died I made him a promise [00:01:50]
I was gonna carry on somehow[00:01:54]
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could[00:01:58]
Only see me now[00:02:00]
I remember the year[00:02:05]
That Clayton Delaney died[00:02:07]
Nobody ever knew it but I went out[00:02:12]
In the woods and I cried[00:02:15]
Well I know there's a lotta big preachers that[00:02:19]
Know a lot more than I do[00:02:23]
But it could be that the good Lord likes[00:02:27]
A little pickin too[00:02:29]
Yeah I remember the year[00:02:34]
That Clayton Delaney died[00:02:36]
