	作词 : Hall
	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
	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
