[00:00:03] Written by：Tom T. Hall

[00:00:06] I remember the year that clayton delaney died

[00:00:12] They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried

[00:00:18] It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid

[00:00:24] They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did

[00:00:30] Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town

[00:00:36] I thought he was a hero and I used to follow clayton around

[00:00:43] Clayton used to tell me son you better put that old guitar away

[00:00:49] There ain't no money in it it'll lead you to an early grave

[00:00:55] Well daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand

[00:01:01] I knew he used to pick up in ohio with a five-piece band

[00:01:07] I often wondered why clayton who seemed so good to me

[00:01:13] Never took his guitar and made it down in tenn-o-see

[00:01:19] I guess if I'd admit it clayton taught me how to drink booze

[00:01:25] I can see him half-stoned a-pickin' out the lovesick blues

[00:01:31] When clayton died I made him a promise I was gonna carry on somehow

[00:01:37] I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now

[00:01:44] I remember the year that clayton delaney died

[00:01:50] Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried

[00:01:56] Well I know there's a lotta big preachers

[00:01:59] That know a lot more than I do

[00:02:02] But it could be that the good lord likes a little pickin' too

[00:02:08] Yeah I remember the year that clayton delaney died
