My G#grandfather's D#7clock was too G#tall for the C#shelf, so it G#stood ninety D#7 years on the G#floor;
It was G#taller by D#7half than the G#old man himC#self, though it G#weight not a D#7pennyweight G#more.
It was bought on the morn of the D#7day that he was G#born, and was always his Bb7treasure and D#7pride;
But it G#stopped D#7short G#never to go C#again when the G#old D#7man G#died.
Ninety G#years without slumbering, Tick Tock, Tick Tock, His life seconds numbering, Tick tock tick tock,
it stopped D#7short G#never to go C#again when, when the G#old D#7man G#died.
At G#watching its D#7pendulum G#swing to and C#fro, Many G#hours he had D#7spent as a G#boy
As G#he grew into D#7manhood the G#clock seemed to C#know, For it G#shared every D#7sorrow and G#joy
And it struck twenty-four as he D#7entered the G#door, With his beautiful and Bb7blushing D#7bride.
But it G#stopped D#7short G#never to go C#again, When the G#old D#7man G#died
My G#grandfather D#7said that of G#those he could C#hire, Not a G#servant so D#7faithful he'd G#found
For it G#wasted no D#7time and it G#had but one C#desire At the G#close of each D#7week to be G#wound
Yet it kept in its place not a D#7frown upon its G#face, And its hands never Bb7hung by its D#7side
But it G#stopped D#7short G#never to go C#again, When the G#old D#7man G#died
Then it G#rang an D#7alarm in the G#dead of the C#night, An G#alarm that for D#7years had been G#dumb.
And we G#knew that his D#7spirit was G#pluming for C#flight, That his G#hour for D#7departure had G#come
Yet the clock kept the time,With a D#7soft and muffled G#chime, As we stood there and watched Bb7by his D#7side
But it G#stopped D#7short G#never to go C#again, When the G#old D#7man G#died
