McClinton, Delbert - A Picture Of You Lyrics






All I've got is a picture of you
Now that you've gone and left me blue
You don't hear me cry at night
And say sweet things to you
You don't hear me sing a love song to
A picture of you

I pretend that you're still here with me
Laughing just the way we used to be
But pictures they can't talk and they can't see
I know I'm in love and nothing more
Nothing more

I hope you'll be happy where you are
But if you need me I won't be to far
Standing in the shadow of my dreams
They say it's not as bad as it may seem
But they don't lie awake at night and cry the way I do
They don't realise that all I got
Is a picture of you

    Saw in in concert here in Louisiana several years ago to a packed house great singer

  14. D.... R....

    Best quote I’ve ever heard about Delbert is “ the man has had the misfortune of seeing more white people dance than anyone else in history “. Quite the tribute!

    D.... R....

    I can't take credit for that comment, I was passing along something that I had read. But yes, I agree that it was a great tribute. This video was an all star lineup and the performance reminds me of J Geils Band on Red Bull!

    D.... R....

    Dang. I love this song so much.

  24. D.... N....

    That mother can speak it

  25. R.... B....

    One of the best vocalist that still kick's it out even at his age. Always count on a good concert when you go to see him because you are going to see and hear one of the greatest of our time. Legends have stole from him his great singing style and they will tell you that it was Delbert who taught me this and that. He's truly a Great....

    R.... B....

    He BE, Da Man!

  26. V.... D....

    Awe sing it Delbert

  27. T.... ....

    John Lee Hooker would be proud!!!

  32. M.... K....

    Saw him on River Street, Savannah, 80s

  33. D.... M....

    I'ma Delbert disciple.

  34. G.... H....

    Oh Yeah !!!.....

  35. J.... B....

    Saw him at his hang around town called "Funky," Fort Worth. At Billy Bob's Texas a number of times and man! The crowd should have "represented," I got to enjoy it oh so nonetheless!

  36. p.... ....

    Ray Charles said Joe Cocker was the best white blues singer in the world. I beg to differ.

  37. D.... M....

    I have been a disciple for 35 years or there abouts, and I'm here to say Delbert never looked that good. But ain't nobody looking anyway, but everyone's listening.

  38. D.... M....

    Definitely one of the greatest albums of our time. Delbert can outdo anyone on blues, rock, country, you name it. He is without peer. I have seen him many times in concert. Just an incredible musical genius. God bless him!!

    D.... M....

    I agree bro.. Just one above him and that was the greatest blues voice all time.. Gregg Alman..

    D.... M....

    Robert Woodward hmmmmm ? & I'm an avid ABB fanatic for 50 years...

    D.... M....

    David Mays, Might as well throw "One of the fortunate few" in that category also !

  39. A.... A....

    Love me some cowbell.....love me some Delbert......forever

  40. L.... C....

    love me some Delbert McClinton

  41. A.... L....

    Love It! Feel good music

  42. d.... m....

  45. 1.... ....

    Incredible!

  46. l.... i....

    Damm dice!

  47. N.... H....

    One of the greatest my father daughter dance was one of his songs!!!!!!

  48. m.... ....

    I first came across Delbert when I was teen aged disc jockey at my first radio station in the Florida panhandle. "Victim of Life Circumstances" was in the junk pile of promotional albums that the program director didn't know what to with, so I gave it a listen and took it home. Never had heard of Delbert, but from then on as I went to different radio stations I would pick up a new album! (Real vinyl. Yes I am that old). It's been a long ride, but I've enjoyed creating new fans for Delbert whenever I can!

  49. H.... Y....

    That's a one of a kind voice in entertainment. You will not find many with the love & enthusiasm for great music & great fans. I can name one, go check him out! Drake White he gets Down Also! 💯

  50. T.... S....

    Backing vocals is Bekka Bramlett, Bonnie' daughter, not Melissa Etheridge, although the sound fairly similar.

    T.... S....

    Michael Duke contributed vocals on this too..He was with Wet Willie

    T.... S....

    Nope, that's Melissa.

  51. M.... C....

    I miss you Grady Hudson! Every time I hear this I think of you and our Fishing trips! The Best Trips I ever had! See you in heaven one day Brother!

  52. F.... F....

    T.... C....

    Yesss!!!

  54. T.... C....

    Awesome👋🏻Awesome Thank you

  55. R.... R....

    According to John Lennon, McClinton taught him harmonica technique when the Beatles (pre-fame) opened for Bruce Channel on a UK tour circa 1962. Listen to Delbert's harp on "Hey Baby" and John's on "Love Me Do" and the influence is obvious.

    R.... R....

    Yes Rob...I can imagine that is true...I was the drummer with Billy Kramer then, and on the same show as Bruce Chanel at the tower ballroom New Brighton (Over the water from Liverpool) and Bob Wooler introduced Delbert to the crowd.....I think his hair was' Fairish' then and he was about the same age as me....Great to think he's still belting out great music...A true Gem.

  56. S.... ....

    Sounds like Rod Stewart!

    S.... ....

    But better.....far better.

  57. m.... B....

    super +++groooVe !!thxx :)

  58. S.... R....

    delbert you still aint call me in mass

  59. T.... C....

    Delbert has been my favorite artist since late '70's! I know one person in Westfield High that may also be. I've a strong feeling, suspicion, I know who that person is. Thank you for sharing and putting Delbert on for everyone to hear and love! What's not to love...
    The person I'm guessing, is also a fan of Florence and the Machine. It's great to see it cross generations, I loved listening to it. Saving it!
    I saw him in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, and a couple of times in the early '90's. He tour's still and loves Mass. He plays smaller venues now. But he's does the Big E sometimes. Framingham, Ma. has a festival every year that he plays. Bigger Blues Clubs... check for his schedule I guess. His band is fantastic always. Never miss a beat. He's incredible.
    At this point his music is nostalgic for me. It's been too long since I've seen him. Hopefully he'll have an appearance locally. He always play's Springfield, or western Ma.

    T.... C....

    Love love Delbert just saw him Saturday May 4th at Myrtle Beach Music Festival.

  60. C.... W....

    The definition of COOL....

  61. M.... D....

    Love it

  62. j.... g....

    ONE OF THE BEST!!!!

  63. o.... e....

    And that's the way Delbert takes care of bidnes

  64. D.... T....

    Am a new fan!,

  65. t.... ....

    I got turned on to Delbert after I heard Chris LeDoux do this song, then listened to Delbert's version and was hooked. God Bless Chris LeDoux and Delbert McClinton, both legends.

  66. M.... E....

    Glad to see so many people are tuned into my favorite performer

  67. A.... J....

    Only time I've ever been thrown out of the bar I threw my girlfriend on the stage they threw us out

  68. N.... H....

    No one better on the entire planet!

  69. A.... C....

    Great story below. Delbert doesn't suffer fools gladly, but he's a genuinely great guy. Also, he taught John Lennon how to play harmonica. Delbert played the harp part on Bruce Chanel's hit Hey, Hey Baby. The Beatles toured all over the UK with Bruce in the early 60s. That's how they met.

  70. C.... s....

    Don't have a dog that bites; but I'd like to have a ZIPPER THAT WOULD GO UP AND DOWN. Don't roll no dice. Just watch concert s at the Silversmith in Wendover NV.  God bless your family M Spellm29

  71. A.... A....

  83. J.... G....

    Does anyone have the lyrics

    J.... G....

    She's got a roof that don't leak
    When the rain's pouring down
    She's got a place I can sleep
    Where I'm safe and sound
    She's got a lock on her door
    But she gave me a key
    She don't walk the floor
    Oh, but she worries about me
    Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
    But I'm holding on for dear life
    She's like rolling a seven
    Every time I roll the dice
    She's got a big Oldsmobile
    She's got a dog that don't bite
    She's got a heart I can steal
    Like a thief in the night
    She's got a slow burning fire
    She keeps the radio low
    When she gets inspired
    We let the good times roll
    Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
    But I'm holding on for dear life
    She's like rolling a seven
    Every time I roll the dice
