the year that clinton delaney died - bobby bare lyrics

(tom t. hall)

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, 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 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…
