The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
In the style of
Lyrics
i remember
the year that
clayton delaney died
they said
for the last
two weeks
that he suffered
and cried
it made
a big impression on me
although i was
a barefoot kid
they said
he got religion
at the end
and i'm glad
that he did
clayton was
the best guitar picker
in our town
i thought
he was a hero
and i used to
follow clayton
around
i often wondered
why clayton
who seemed
so good to me
never took his guitar
and made it
down in tennessee
well daddy said
he drank a lot
but i could
never understand
i knew
he used to pick up
in ohio
with a five-piece band
and clayton
used to tell me
son you better
put that
old guitar away
there ain't
no money in it
it'll lead you to
an early grave
i guess if i'd admit it
clayton taught me
how to drink booze
i can see him
half-stoned
a-pickin' out
the lovesick blues
when clayton died
i made him a promise
i was gonna
carry on somehow
i'd give
a hundred dollars
if he could
only see me now
i remember
the year that
clayton delaney died
nobody ever knew it
but i went out
in the woods
and i cried
well i know
there's a lot of
big preachers
that know
a lot more than i do
but it could be
that the good lord
likes a little
pickin' too
yeah i remember
the year that
clayton delaney died
