《My Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] My Grandfather's Clock - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[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;

[00:00:26] It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born

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

[00:00:35] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:40] When the old man died

[00:00:44] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:49] His life seconds numbering

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

[00:00:58] When the old man died

[00:01:03] My grandfather said that of those he could hire

[00:01:07] Not a servant so faitful he found

[00:01:11] For it wasted no time and had but one desire

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

[00:01:20] And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face

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

[00:01:29] 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

[00:01:45] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:01:49] And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

[00:01:54] That his hour for departure had come

[00:01:58] Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes

[00:02:03] As we proudly stood by his side

[00:02:07] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:12] When the old man died

[00:02:16] Ninety years without slumbering

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

[00:02:30] When the old man died
