Grandfather's Clock - Doc Watson.mp3
[00:09.66]My grandfather'...
[00:09.66]My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
[00:14.40]So, it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:19.05]It was taller by half than the old man himself
[00:23.94]And it weighed not a penny's weight more
[00:28.35]It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born
[00:33.03]And was always his treasure and pride
[00:37.68]But it stopped short, never to go again
[00:43.86]When the old man died
[00:46.95]Ninety years without slumbering
[00:51.96]His life's seconds numbering
[00:56.37]But it stopped short, never to go again
[01:00.90]When the old man died
[01:23.31]My grandfather said that of those he could hire
[01:27.99]Not a servant so faithful he'd found
[01:32.64]For it wasted no time and it had but one desire
[01:36.84]At the close of each week to be wound
[01:41.01]Yes, it kept in its place but not a frown upon its face
[01:45.78]And its hands never hung by its side
[01:49.98]But it stopped short, never to go again
[01:54.63]When the old man died
[02:16.02]It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
[02:20.25]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[02:24.69]And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
[02:29.01]That his hour for departure had come
[02:33.09]Yes, the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
[02:37.77]As we stood there and watched by his side
[02:42.12]But it stopped short, never to go again
[02:46.50]When the old man died
[02:47.28]Ninety years without slumbering
[02:48.03]His life's seconds numbering
[02:49.59]But it stopped short, never to go again
[02:51.06]When the old man died
