Grandfather's Clock - Hank Snow

My grandfather’s clock was too big for the shelf

So it stood 90 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 that he was born

And was always his treasure and pride

But it stopped, short, never to run again

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering

Tick tock, tick tock

Ninety years numbering

Tick tock, tick tock

But it stopped, short, never to run again

When the old man died
