johnny cash -my grandfather's clock[00:00:00]
tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock,[00:00:01]
my grandfather's clock; was too large for the shelf[00:00:09]
so it stood ninety years on the floor[00:00:13]
it was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:18]
though it weighed not a penny-weight more;[00:00:22]
it was bought on the morn; of the day that he was born[00:00:27]
and was always his treasure and pride[00:00:31]
but it stopped short never to go again[00:00:36]
when the old man died.[00:00:40]
ninety years without slumbering[00:00:45]
(dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)[00:00:47]
his life seconds numbering[00:00:50]
(dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)[00:00:52]
it stopped short never to go again[00:00:54]
when the old man died.[00:00:58]
(and) my grandfather said that of those he could hire[00:01:03]
not a servant so faitful he found[00:01:08]
for it wasted no time and had but one desire[00:01:12]
at the close of each week to be wound[00:01:16]
and it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face[00:01:21]
and its' hands never hung by its side[00:01:25]
but it stopped short never to go again[00:01:30]
when the old man died.[00:01:34]
it rang an alarm in the dead of the night[00:01:41]
an alarm that for years had been dumb[00:01:46]
and we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight[00:01:50]
that his hour for departure had come.[00:01:55]
still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes[00:01:59]
as we proudly stood by his side[00:02:04]
but it stopped short never to go again[00:02:08]
when the old man died.[00:02:13]
ninety years without slumbering[00:02:17]
(dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)[00:02:19]
his life seconds numbering[00:02:22]
(dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)[00:02:24]
it stopped short never to go again[00:02:26]
when the old man died.[00:02:30]
tick, tock, tick, tock......[00:02:35]
