The Year That Clinton Delaney Died |
Well 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 |
Daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand |
I knew he used to picked up in Ohio with a five piece band |
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 gray |
I guess if I’d admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze |
I can see him half stoned pickin' up 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 lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do |
But it could be that the good Lord likes a little picking too |
Yeah I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died |
