Tom T Hall Miscellaneous Year That Clayton Delaney Died (1971) 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 Clayton used to tell me son you'd better put that old guitar away There ain't no money in it, it will 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-picking out the Lovesick Blues When Clayton died I made him a promise I was going to carry on some how 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 While I know there's a lot of big preachers that know a lot more than I do It could be that the good Lord likes a little picking too Yeah I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died |
