My Grandfather's Clock
My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood 90 years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
90 years without slumbering, ticktock, ticktock
His life seconds numbering, ticktock, ticktock
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died
90 years without slumbering, ticktock, ticktock
His life seconds numbering, ticktock, ticktock
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
And it stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
So it stood 90 years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
90 years without slumbering, ticktock, ticktock
His life seconds numbering, ticktock, ticktock
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died
90 years without slumbering, ticktock, ticktock
His life seconds numbering, ticktock, ticktock
It stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
And it stopped, short, never to go again, when the old man died
