THE YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED ( BB) TOM T HALL
6 I REMEMBER THE YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED
THEY SAID FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS THAT HE SUFFERED AND CRIED
15 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

23 CLAYTON WAS THE BEST GUITAR PICKER IN OUR TOWN
I THOUGHT HE WAS A HERO AND I USED TO FOLLOW CLAYTON AROUND
30 I OFTEN WONDERED WHY CLAYTON, WHO SEEMED SO GOOD TO ME
NEVER TOOK HIS GUITAR AND MADE IT DOWN IN TENN-O-SEE

39 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
46 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."

54 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
63 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

70 I REMEMBER THE YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY DIED
NOBODY EVER KNEW IT BUT I WENT OUT IN THE WOODS AND I CRIED
78 WELL, I KNOW THERE'S A LOTTA BIG PREACHERS THAT KNOW A LOT MORE THAN I DO END 91
BUT IT COULD BE THAT THE GOOD LORD LIKES A LITTLE PICKIN' TOO 87 TAG YEAH, I REMEMBER THE

YEAR THAT CLAYTON DELANEY
