Grandfather's Clock Lyrics

Grandfather's Clock - The Radio Revellers

Written by:Henry Clay Work/Murphy

My grandfather's clock

Was too large for the shelf

So it stood ninety years on the floor

 

It was taller by half

Than the old man himself

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

 

It was bought on the morn

Of the day that he was born

It was always his treasure and pride

 

But it stopped short

 

Never to go again

When the old man died

 

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro

 

Not a servant so faithful he found

 

For it wasted no time and had but one desire

At the close of each week to be wound

 

And it kept in its place with a frown upon its face

 

And its hands never hung by its side

 

But it stopp'd short never to go again

When the old man died

 

But it stop never never to go again

When the old man died

 

Ninety years without slumbering

Tick tock tick tock

His life seconds numbering

Tick tock tick tock

But it stopp'd short live is crazy

 

 

When the old man died
