Grandfather's Clock - Harold Williams/Howdy Doody[00:00:00]
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf [00:00:05]
So it stood ninety years on the floor [00:00:10]
It was taller by half than the old man himself [00:00:15]
And it weight not a penny's weight more [00:00:19]
It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born [00:00:24]
And was always his treasure and pride [00:00:29]
But it stopped short never to go again [00:00:34]
When the old man died [00:00:38]
Ninety years without slumbering (tic tac tic tac) [00:00:43]
His life's seconds numbering (tic tac tic tac) [00:00:49]
But it stopped short never to go again [00:00:53]
When the old man died[00:00:57]
At watching it's pendulum swing to and fro [00:01:07]
Many hours he had spent as a boy [00:01:12]
As he grew into manhood the clock seemed to know [00:01:16]
For it sharaed everyu sorrow and joy [00:01:21]
And it struck tewntyfour as he entered the door [00:01:25]
With his beautiful and blushing bride [00:01:29]
But it stopped short never to go again [00:01:34]
When the old man died[00:01:38]
Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night [00:02:07]
An alarm that for years had been dumb [00:02:12]
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight [00:02:16]
That his hour for departure had come [00:02:21]
Yes the clock kept the time [00:02:27]
With a soft and muffled chime [00:02:29]
As we stood there and watched by his side [00:02:31]
But it stopped short never to go again [00:02:37]
When the old man died[00:02:43]
