Grandfather's Clock
Lyricist:Doc Watson
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 And it weighed not a penny's weight more
It was bought on the morn that my grandpa 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 His life's seconds numbering But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died
My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he'd found For it wasted no time and it had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Yes, it kept in its place but not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight That his hour for departure had come
Yes, the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime As we stood there and watched by his side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering His life's seconds numbering But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died
