《My Grandfathers Clock》歌词

[00:00:01] My Grandfather´s Clock - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:02] Written by：Henry Clay Work

[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 pennyweight 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

[00:00:49] 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

[00:01:08] Not a servant so faithful 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

[00:01:26] 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 and alarmed 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 a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:04] As we silently 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

[00:02:22] His life seconds numbering

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

[00:02:31] When the old man died
