My Grandfathers Clock | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

MP3 download iTunes: CD Baby: My grandfathers 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 , And was always his treasure and pride; But it stoppd short — never to go again — When the old man died. CHORUS: Ninety years without slumbering (tick , tick , tick , tick) , His life seconds numbering , (tick , tick , tick , tick) , It stoppd short — never to go again — When the old man died. In watching its pendulum swing to and fro , Many hours had he spent while a boy; And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy. For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door , With a blooming and beautiful bride; But it stopped short — never to go again — When the old man died. CHORUS My grandfather said that of those he could hire , 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 — not a frown upon its face , And its hands never hung by its side. But it stoppd short — never to go again — When the old man died. CHORUS 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 of departure had come. Still the clock kept the time , with a soft and muffled chime , As we silently stood by his side; But it stoppd short — never to go again — When the old man died.
