This is one tall and sturdy clock. My grandfather's clock has been ticking for years... ninety years! With not a grumble or a moan. It weighs as much as a penny and not more.
Lyrics:

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,
It was always his treasure and pride;
But, it stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent, while a boy.
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know,
And to share both
His grief and his joy.

For it struck twenty four,
When he entered the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride;
But, it stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

My grandfather said that
Those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found.
For it wasted no time
And had, but one desire,
At the close of
Each week to be wound.

It was kept in its place,
Not a frown upon its face,
And its hands never hung by its side;
But, it stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

It rang an alarm in
The dead of the night
An alarm, for years had been dumb.
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming for flight.
That his hour of
Departure had come.

Still the clock kept time
With a soft and muffed 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,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.

Yes, it stopped short...
...never to go again,
When the old man died.
