In watching its pendulum swing to and fro Many hours he had spent when a boy And through childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy For it struck 24 when he entered at the door With a blooming and beautiful bride, But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died CHORUS My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he'd found, For it kept perfect time and it had one desire At the close of each day to be wound At it kept to its place, not a frown upon its face At its hands never hung by its side But it stopped, short, never to go again When the old man died CHORUS 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 of 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Written by Henry Clay Work Before this song became popular, the floor standing clocks were known merely as a tall clock, and became known as grandfather clocks as a result of the singing of this song. recorded by Trickett on Streams of Time filename[ GRANCLOK DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Green Bushes, Green Green Its Green They Say, Green Grow The Lilacs, Green Grow The Rashes O, Green Mountain, Green Valley, Greenback Dollar, Greenbergs, Greenland Fisheries, Greenland Monopole, Greenland Whale Fisheries, Greensleeves, Greenstamps, Grenada Anthem Text, Grey Funnel Line, Grey Hawk, Grey Jacket And Grey Trousers, Grey Mare, Grey Silkie Of Sule Skerry, Griesly Bride, Grimsby Lads, Griselda, Gruel, Guantanamera, guas De Maro, Guatemala Anthem Text, Guatemala Native Anthem Text, Gunboat Sailors, Guy Fawkes, Gypsy Davey, Gypsy Laddie, Gypsy Laddies, Gypsy Love Song, Gypsy Rover, Gypsys Warning, Hail The Yurt, Hal An Tow, Hallelujah Im A Bum, Halleys Comet, Halls Of Montezuma, Hame Dearie Hame, Hamlet, Hand Me Down, Handsome Cabin Boy, Handsome Molly, Handsome Young Sailor, Hangin Johnny, Hangman Or The Prickilie Bush, Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe, Happy Days, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
