Tom T. Hall - The Year That Clayton Delaney Died слова песни
I remember the year that clayton delaney diedThey said for the last two weeks that he suffered and criedIt made a big impression on me, although I was a barefoot kidThey said he got religion at the end and Im glad that he didClayton was the best guitar picker in our townI thought he was a hero and I used to follow clayton aroundI often wondered why clayton, who seemed so good to meNever took his guitar and made it down in tenn-o-seeWell, daddy said he drank a lot, but I could never understandI knew he used to pick up in ohio with a five-piece bandClayton 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 boozeI can see him half-stoned a-pickin out the lovesick bluesWhen clayton died I made him a promise, I was gonna carry on somehowId give a hundred dollars if he could only see me nowI remember the year that clayton delaney diedNobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I criedWell, I know theres a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I doBut it could be that the good lord likes a little pickin tooYeah, I remember the year that clayton delaney died
