🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Well I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and criedIt 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 didClayton was the best guitar picker in our town
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton aroundI often wondered why Clayton who seemed so good to me
Never took his guitar and made it down in TennesseeDaddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand
I knew he used to picked up in Ohio with a five piece bandClayton 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 grayI guess if I’d admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze
I can see him half stoned pickin` up the Lovesick BluesWhen 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 nowI remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I criedWell 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 picking tooYeah I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
