Lyrics The Year That Clayton Delaney Died - Tom T. Hall
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
Tennessee
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'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
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
While
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
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
