The Year That Clinton Delaney Died - 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
It'll 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
