My grandfather's clock was to 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 always his treasure and pride
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
It stopp'd 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 seemd to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old mand died

My grandfather said, that og 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 stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
his life secounds numbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm in the dea of the night
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for filght
That his hour of departure had come
Still the clolck 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

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick . Tock . Tick . Tock
his life seconds numbering
Tock . Tock . Tick . Tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died
