My Grandfathers Clock / Johnny Cash - 1959 (Henry Clay Work - 1876) (Spoken) Way down south, down a long dusty road, There's an old ramshakle house that nobody lives in anymore. And if you walk down the hall and look, you'll see an old Grandfathers Clock that don't run anymore. It's silent now, and it's covered up with spider webs. That was my Grandfathers Clock. And this song is the story of that clock. 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 he was born It was always his treasure and pride And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died In watching its pendulum swing to and fro Many hours he spent as a boy And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know And it shared both his sorrow and joy And it struck twenty-four when he entered the door With a blooming and beautiful bride And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tick It's life seconds numbering, tick tock, tick, tock And it stopped 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 It wasted no time and it had one desire At the end of the week to be wound And it stayed in its place, not a frown upon its face And it's hands never hung by it's side And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died Now it rang an alarm in the still of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb We knew that his spirit was pluming in flight That his hour of departure had come Still the clock kept its time with a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tick It's life seconds numbering, tick tock, tick, tock And it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died (Spoken) And I've been thinking, that someday, I'm going down to my Grampa's old house. And I'm gonna get that old clock. And I'm gonna shine it up. And I'm gonna oil it up good. And get it fixed up pretty. And it'll keep time for me. Just like it did for my Grampa. 1.할아버지 시계는 아주 커 마루에 세워 놓았어요 할아버지께서 태어난 아침에 처음 우리집에 왔지요 시계는 언제나 우리 할아버지의 소중한 보물이었지요 할아버진 자랑을 하셨죠 친구라고요 그러나 어느날 할아버지께서 돌아가시던 날부터 시계는 고장나 멈추고 말았죠 다시는 가지 않았지요 시계는 언제나 우리 할아버지의 소중한 보물이었지요 할아버진 자랑을 하셨죠 친구라고요 2.할아버지의 기쁨과 슬픔을 시계는 함께 나누었죠 할아버지께서 결혼을 하실 때 시계는 축하를 했대요 어여쁜 신부와 집에 들어왔을 때 스물 네번 종을 울렸죠 시계는 멈추고 말았죠 울리지 않죠 할아버지가 돌아가시던 날 시계는 다시 울렸어요 부드럽고 조용한 소리로 그 시간을 알렸어요 보고 싶어라 우리 할아버지 언제나 다정한 그 모습 시계는 멈추고 말았죠 울리지 않죠 *.구십년 동안 언제나 똑딱똑딱 수를 재고 있었죠 똑딱똑딱 시계는 멈추고 말았죠 울리지 않죠 Hank Snow(1957) Tennessee Ernie Ford(1959) The Everly Brothers(1961) 2006/12/13 리알토
