Grandfather's Clock (Remastered 2015) - Sam Cooke[00:00:00]

Written by：Rr/Henry Clay Work[00:00:00]

Tick tock tick tock[00:00:00]

Tick tock tick tock[00:00:03]

Now my grandfathers' clock[00:00:06]

Was too large for the shelf[00:00:10]

So it stood 90 years on the floor[00:00:13]

It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:20]

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more[00:00:27]

Now it was bought on the morn[00:00:33]

Of the day that he was born[00:00:37]

And it was always his treasure and pride[00:00:41]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:48]

When the old man died[00:00:55]

Oh now my grandfather said[00:01:01]

That of those he could hire[00:01:05]

Not a servant so faithful he found[00:01:09]

For it wasted no time[00:01:15]

And it had but one desire[00:01:19]

And the close of each week to be wound[00:01:22]

And it kept in its place[00:01:29]

Not a frown on his face[00:01:33]

And his hands never hung by its side[00:01:36]

But you know that it stopped short[00:01:42]

Never to go again[00:01:47]

When the old man died[00:01:50]

Now rang an alarm[00:01:57]

In the dead of the night[00:02:00]

An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:04]

And we know that his spirit[00:02:10]

Was plumming for flight[00:02:14]

That his hour for departure had come[00:02:17]

Still that clock kept the time[00:02:23]

With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:27]

As we solemnly stood by his side[00:02:31]

But you know that it stopped short[00:02:36]

Never to go again[00:02:41]

When the old man died[00:02:44]

You know that it stopped short[00:02:50]

Never to go again[00:02:55]

When the old boy died[00:02:58]
