My Grandfather's Clock (Original Mix) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

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 penny-weight more;

It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born

And was always his treasure and pride

But it stopped short never to go again

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering

His life seconds numbering

It stopped short never to go again

When the old man died

My grandfather said that of those he could hire

Not a servant so faitful 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; not a frown upon its' face

And its' hands never hung by its side

But it stopped short never to go again

When the old man died

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night

An alarm that for years had been dumb

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

That his hour for departure had come

Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes

As we proudly stood by his side

But it stopped short never to go again

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering

It stopped short never to go again

When the old man died
