Grandfatherz Clock My grandfathers clock was too tall for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself, Thou it wieghed not a pennyweight more. It was bought on the morn of the day he was orn It waz always his joy and his pride. But it stoped short, never to go again, when the Old man died. Chorus Ninety years without slumbering: Tick Tick Tick It's life's seckond's numbering Tick Tick Tick It stoped short, never to go again When the old man died. And watching its pendulum swing two and fro Many hours had he passed when a boy. And through youth and through manhood The clock seemed to know And to share with his grief and his joy. For it struck twenty four As he entered the door With his beautiful and blooming bride But it stoped short, never to go again, When the old man died. Chorus My grandfather said of those he would hire, Not a servant so faithful he found, For it wasted no time And it had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound., And it stood at its place Not a frown on its face And itz hands never hung by its sides. But it stoped short, never to go again, When the old man died Chorus It rang an alarm at the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb. And we knew that his spirit Was blooming for flight That the hour of departure had come. And the clock kept time With the lonely chime As we silently stood by his side But it stoped short, never to go again When the old man died.
