Grandfather's Clock - Harold Williams/Carson Robinson/The Three Ginx[00:00:00]
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf[00:00:05]
So it stood ninety years on the floor[00:00:09]
It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:14]
But it weight not a penny weight more[00:00:19]
It was bought on the morn all the day[00:00:24]
That he was born[00:00:27]
And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:28]
But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:34]
When the old man died[00:00:38]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:43]
Tic tac tic tac[00:00:47]
His life's seconds numbering[00:00:49]
Tic tac tic tac[00:00:51]
It's stopped short never to go again[00:00:53]
When the old man died[00:00:58]
In watching it's pendulum swing to and fro[00:01:08]
Many hours had his spent while a boy[00:01:12]
And in childhood and manhood[00:01:17]
The clock seemed to know[00:01:19]
And share both his grief and his joy[00:01:21]
For it's struck tewntyfour when he entered the door[00:01:26]
With his glumming and beautiful bride[00:01:30]
But it stopped short never to go again[00:01:35]
When the old man died[00:01:40]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:01:45]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:48]
His life seconds numbering[00:01:50]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:52]
It stopped short never to go again[00:01:54]
When the old man died[00:01:58]
It rang an alarm[00:02:09]
In the dead of the night[00:02:11]
An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:13]
And we knew that his spirit[00:02:18]
Was pluming his flight[00:02:21]
That his hour of departure had come[00:02:23]
Still the clock kept the time[00:02:29]
With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:31]
As we silently stood by his side[00:02:34]
But it stopped short[00:02:40]
Never to go again[00:02:43]
When the old man died[00:02:45]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:02:52]
Tick tock tick tock[00:02:55]
His life seconds numbering[00:02:57]
Tick tock tick tock[00:03:00]
It stopped short[00:03:02]
Never to go again[00:03:04]
When the old man died[00:03:06]
