[length: 03:12]
[00:00.08]Tick tock, tick tock
[00:01.60]Tick tock, tick tock
[00:03.28]Tick tock, tick tock
[00:03.68]Tick tock, tick tock
[00:06.35]Now my grandfathers’ clock was too large for the shelf
[00:11.84]So it stood 90 years on the floor
[00:18.19]It was taller by half than the old man himself
[00:28.04]Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
[00:34.31]Now it was bought on the morn
[00:38.69]Of the day that he was born
[00:42.25]And it was always his treausure and pride
[00:48.92]But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died
[01:02.62]Oh, now my grandfather said that of those he could hire
[01:08.94]Not a servant so faithful he found
[01:16.18]For it wasted no time and it had but one desire
[01:23.34]At the close of each week to be wound and it kept in its place
[01:33.38]Not a frown on his face
[01:36.94]And his hands never hung by its side
[01:43.34]But you know that it stopped short
[01:47.89]Never to go again when the old man died
[01:57.79]Now rang an alarm in the dead of the night
[02:05.05]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[02:12.74]And we that his spirit was ‘plumming’ for flight
[02:20.01]That his hour for departure had come
[02:26.33]Still that clock kept the time
[02:30.36]With a soft and muffled chime
[02:33.75]As we solemnly stood by his side
[02:39.75]But you know that it stopped short
[02:43.00]Never to go again when the old man died
[02:47.56]You know that it stopped short
[02:57.50]Never to go again when the old boy died
