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


Clayton Used To Tell Me Son


You'd Better Put That Ol' Guitar Away


There Ain't No Money In It


It Will 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 Going To Carry On Some How


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


While I Know There's A Lot Of Big Preachers


That Know A Lot More Than I Do


It Could Be That The Good Lord


Likes A Little Pickin' Too





Yeah I Remember THE YEAR


THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED
