The Year That Clayton Delaney Died (Originally Performed by Tom T. Hall) [Karaoke Version] - The Karaoke Channel (卡拉OK频道)

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 Im 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 Tenno 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 aint 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
