Grandfather's Clock

The grandfather clock was too tall for the shelf
Though it stood 90 years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
But it didn't weigh a penny weight more

90 Years without grumbling, tick-tock-tick
It's life seconds numbering, tick-tock-tick
But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died

It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
It was always his pleasure and pride

But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died

Yes, it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
