《My Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] johnny cash -my grandfather's clock

[00:00:01] tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock,

[00:00:09] my grandfather's clock; was too large for the shelf

[00:00:13] so it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:18] it was taller by half than the old man himself

[00:00:22] though it weighed not a penny-weight more;

[00:00:27] it was bought on the morn; of the day that he was born

[00:00:31] and was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:36] but it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:40] when the old man died.

[00:00:45] ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:47] (dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)

[00:00:50] his life seconds numbering

[00:00:52] (dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)

[00:00:54] it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:58] when the old man died.

[00:01:03] (and) my grandfather said that of those he could hire

[00:01:08] not a servant so faitful he found

[00:01:12] for it wasted no time and had but one desire

[00:01:16] at the close of each week to be wound

[00:01:21] and it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face

[00:01:25] and its' hands never hung by its side

[00:01:30] but it stopped short never to go again

[00:01:34] when the old man died.

[00:01:41] it rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:01:46] an alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:01:50] and we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

[00:01:55] that his hour for departure had come.

[00:01:59] still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes

[00:02:04] as we proudly stood by his side

[00:02:08] but it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:13] when the old man died.

[00:02:17] ninety years without slumbering

[00:02:19] (dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)

[00:02:22] his life seconds numbering

[00:02:24] (dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or trad. tick, tock, tick, tock)

[00:02:26] it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:30] when the old man died.

[00:02:35] tick, tock, tick, tock......
