Tom T. Hall - The Year That Clayton Delaney Died текст песни

Текст
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 Im 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

Clayton used to tell me, "son you better put that old guitar away,

There aint no money in it, itll lead you to an early grave."

I guess if Id 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

Id 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 theres 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
