  • THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED
    F
    They said for the last two weeks
  • C
    That he suffered and cried
    F
  • It made a big impression on me
    C
    Although I was a barefoot kid
  • G
    They said he got religion at the end
    C
  • 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'd better put that ol' guitar away
  • There ain't no money in it
    It will 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 going to carry on some how
  • 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
    While I know there's a lot of big preachers
    That know a lot more than I do
  • It could be that the good Lord
    Likes a little pickin' too
     
  • Coda:
