Grandfather's Clock
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety 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
Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc
His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc
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
Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc
His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc
It stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
So it stood ninety 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
Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc
His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc
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
Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc
His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc
It stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
