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
