Chris plays the first two verses of My Grandfather's Clock on our Swift Compact Chromatic hammered dulcimer. Check this instrument out on our website: https://songbirdhd.com/product/swift-... • There are four verses total, of which we've only added two verses in the video. Here are the full 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, • And was always his treasure and pride; • But it stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • Ninety years without slumbering • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • His life seconds numbering, • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • It stopp'd 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 at the door, • With a blooming and beautiful bride; • But it stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • Ninety years without slumbering • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • His life seconds numbering, • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • It stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • My grandfather said that of 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. • And it kept in its place — not a frown upon its face, • And its hands never hung by its side. • But it stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • Ninety years without slumbering • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • His life seconds numbering, • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • It stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • It rang an alarm in the dead of the night — • An alarm that 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 the time, with a soft and muffled chime, • As we silently stood by his side; • But it stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • Ninety years without slumbering • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • His life seconds numbering, • (tick, tick, tick, tick), • It stopp'd short — never to go again — • When the old man died. • Additionally, this song has an amazing history.
