Grandfather's Clock

INTRO: Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock,

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 him self

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 stopped short never to go a gain

When the old man died.

Refrain:

Ninety years without slumbering

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

His life seconds numbering

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

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 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 stopped short never to go a gain

When the old man died.

Refrain:
