tom t hall - the year that clayton delaney died lyrics

Loading...

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 tenn-o-see

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 ol’ 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-pickin’ 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
n-body 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 pickin’ too

yeah i remember the year
that clayton delaney died
