Grandfather's Clock
traditional

My grandfathers clock was too large for the shelf
And it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by far than the old man himself
And 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 run again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering tick toc tic tock
His life seconds numbering tick toc tick toc

But it stopped short never to run again
When the old man died
