Grandfather's Clock - Sam Cooke[00:00:00]

Written by：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[00:00:28]

Now it was bought on the morn[00:00:34]

Of the day that he was born[00:00:38]

And it was always his treasure and pride[00:00:42]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:49]

When the old man died[00:00:56]

Oh now my grandfather said[00:01:02]

That of those he could hire[00:01:07]

Not a servant so faithful he found[00:01:10]

For it wasted no time[00:01:17]

And it had but one desire[00:01:21]

And the close of each week to be wound[00:01:24]

And it kept in its place[00:01:31]

Not a frown upon his face[00:01:34]

And his hands never hung by its side[00:01:38]

But you know that it stopped short[00:01:44]

Never to go again[00:01:49]

When the old man died[00:01:52]

Now rang an alarm[00:01:59]

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

An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:06]

And we know that his spirit[00:02:12]

Was plumming for flight[00:02:16]

That his hour for departure had come[00:02:20]

Still that clock kept the time[00:02:26]

With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:30]

As we solemnly stood by his side[00:02:33]

But you know that it stopped short[00:02:39]

Never to go again[00:02:44]

When the old man died[00:02:47]

You know that it stopped short[00:02:53]

Never to go again[00:02:58]

When the old boy died[00:03:01]
