《The Year That Clayton Delaney Died》歌词

[00:00:00] The Year That Clayton Delaney Died - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)

[00:00:08] I remember the year

[00:00:10] That Clayton Delaney died

[00:00:15] They said for the last two weeks

[00:00:18] That he suffered and cried

[00:00:23] It made a big impression on me

[00:00:26] Although I was a barefoot kid

[00:00:30] They said he got religion

[00:00:32] At the end and I'm glad that he did

[00:00:38] Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town

[00:00:44] I thought he was a hero and

[00:00:47] I used to follow Clayton around

[00:00:52] I often wondered why Clayton

[00:00:55] Who seemed so good to me

[00:01:00] Never took his guitar and made it down

[00:01:02] In Tenn-o-see

[00:01:07] Well daddy said he drank a lot

[00:01:09] But I could never understand

[00:01:14] I knew he used to pick up in Ohio

[00:01:16] With a five-piece band

[00:01:21] And Clayton used to tell me

[00:01:23] "Son you better put

[00:01:24] That old guitar away"

[00:01:29] There ain't no money in it

[00:01:30] Itll lead you to an early grave

[00:01:36] I guess if I'd admit it

[00:01:38] Clayton taught me how to drink booze

[00:01:43] I can see him half-stoned a-pickin

[00:01:45] Out the lovesick blues

[00:01:50] When Clayton died I made him a promise

[00:01:54] I was gonna carry on somehow

[00:01:58] I'd give a hundred dollars if he could

[00:02:00] Only see me now

[00:02:05] I remember the year

[00:02:07] That Clayton Delaney died

[00:02:12] Nobody ever knew it but I went out

[00:02:15] In the woods and I cried

[00:02:19] Well I know there's a lotta big preachers that

[00:02:23] Know a lot more than I do

[00:02:27] But it could be that the good Lord likes

[00:02:29] A little pickin too

[00:02:34] Yeah I remember the year

[00:02:36] That Clayton Delaney died
