Grandfather's Clock Lyrics

(Spoken) Way down south, down a long dusty road,
There's an old ramshakle house that nobody lives
in anymore. And if you walk down the hall and
look, you'll see an old Grandfathers Clock that
don't run anymore. It's silent now, and it's
covered up with spider webs. That was my
Grandfathers Clock. And this song is the story of
that clock.

(Sung) 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,
Tho' 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. And my Grandfather said, that, of those
he could hire, not a servant so faithful, he
found. For it wasted no time, and it had but one
desire At the close of each week, to be wound. And

it kept in it's place. Not a frown upon it's face.
And it's hands never hung by it side, But it
stopped, Short, never to go again. When the old
man died.

Ninty years without slumbering. (Tic-Tock,
Tic-Tock.) His life seconds numbering. (Tic-Tock,
Tic-Tock.) It stopped. Short, never to go again,
when the old man, died.

Well, it rang an alarm, in the still 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 a soft and muffled chime. As
we silently stood by his side. But it stopped
short, never to go again. When the old man, died.

Ninty years without slumbering. (Tic-Tock,
Tic-Tock.) His life seconds numbering. (Tic-Tock,
Tic-Tock.) It stopped. Short, never to go again,
when the old man, died.

(Spoken) And I've been thinking, that someday, I'm
going down to my Grampa's old house. And I'm gonna
get that old clock. And I'm gonna shine it up. And
I'm gonna oil it up good. And get it fixed up
pretty. And it'll keep time for me. Just like it
did for my Grampa.
