Year That Clayton Delaney Died

(Tom T. Hall)

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.

Well, 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
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...

Mirror lyrics:

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died...

But it could be the good Lord likes a little picking too.
I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now.
When Clayton died I made him a promise I was gonna carry on somehow
I can see him half stoned pickin' up the Lovesick Blues
I guess if I'd admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze

There ain't no money in it it'll lead you to an early gray.
Clayton used to tell me son you better put that old guitar away
I knew he used to picked up in Ohio with a five piece band
Well, daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand

Never took his old guitar and made it down in Tennessee.
I often wondered why Clayton who seemed so good to me
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around
Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town

They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did.
It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried
I remember the day that Clayton Delaney died
