My Grandfather's Clock

Johnny Cash

Key of D                         Henry Clay Work

1) 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 himself,
Though it weighed
Not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn
Of the day he was born,
It was always
His treasure and pride,
And it stopped short,
Never to go again,
When the old man died. (Chorus)

CHORUS:

Ninety years without slumbering
Tic Toc Tic Toc.
It's life's seconds numbering
Tic Toc Tic Toc.
It stopped, short;
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

2) In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro,
Many hours he spent as a boy.
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know,
And it shared both
His sorrow and joy.
And it struck twenty-four
When he entered the door,
With a blooming
And beautiful bride,
And it stopped short,
Never to go again,
When the old man died. (Chorus)

3) My Grandfather said
That of those he could hire,
Not a servant
So faithful he found.
It wasted no time
And it had one desire,
At the end of the week
To be wound.
And it stayed in its place,
Not a frown upon its face,
And it's hands
Never hung by it's side,
And it stopped short,
Never to go again,
When the old man died. (Chorus)

4) Now it rang an alarm
In the still of the night,
An alarm that for years
Had been dumb.
We knew that his spirit
Was plumbing in flight,
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept its time
With a soft and muffled chime,
As we silently
Stood by his side,
And it stopped short,
Never to go again,
When the old man died. (Chorus)
