The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
I remember the day 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 old guitar and made it down in Tennessee
Daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand I know he used to pick up in Ohio with a five piece band Clayton used to tell me, 'Son, you better put that guitar away There ain't no money in it, it'll lead you to an early gray 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 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 I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do But it could be the good Lord likes a little picking too
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
