[ti:Grandfather's Clock] [ar:Johnny Cash] [al:The Johnny Cash Children's Album] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] Grandfather's Clock - Johnny Cash Way down South down a long dusty road There's an old round shackled house that nobody lives in anymore And if you walk down the hall and look You'll see an old grandfather's clock that don't run anymore It's silent now and it's covered up with spider webs That was my grandfather's clock and this song is a story of that clock My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety 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 go again When the old man died And My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time and it had but one desire At the close of the week to be wound And it kept in it's place not a frown upon it's face And it's hands never hung by it's side But it stopped short never to go again When the old man died Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock It's life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock It stopped short never to go again When the old man died Well 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 for departure had come Still the clock kept it's 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 Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock It's life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock It stopped short never to go again When the old man died And I've been thinking if someday I'm going down to my grandfather's old house And I'm gon' take that old clock and I'm gon' shine it up And I'm gon' to oil it up good and get it fixed up pretty And it'll keep time for me just like it did for my grandfather
