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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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
