歌曲名 The Year That Clayton Delaney Died
歌手名 Bobby Bare
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
And Clayton used to tell me
"Son you better put
That old guitar away"
There ain't no money in it
Itll 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 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 pickin too
Yeah I remember the year
That Clayton Delaney died
