''''할아버지의 시계'''' (''My Grandfather's Clock'')는 [[아메리카 합중국]]의 [[대중음악]].

작사·작곡은 [[헨리 클레이 워크]]로, [[1876년]]에 발표되어 당시 미국에서 [[악보]]가 100만 부 이상 팔렸다. 워크가 [[영국]]을 방문하고 있을 때에, 숙박지의 호텔의 주인에게 들은 이야기에 힌트를 얻고 노래로 한 것이다.

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,<br />
So it stood ninety years on the floor;<br />
It was taller by half than the old man himself,<br />
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.<br />
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,<br />
And was always his treasure and pride;<br />
But it stopped short — never to go again —<br />
When the old man died.

:Ninety years without slumbering <br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:His life's seconds numbering,<br /> (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,<br />
Many hours had he spent while a boy;<br />
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know<br />
And to share both his grief and his joy.<br />
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door,<br />
With a blooming and beautiful bride;<br />
But it stopped short — never to go again —<br />
When the old man died.

:Ninety years without slumbering <br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:His life's seconds numbering,<br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:It stopped short — never to go again —
:When the old man died.

My grandfather said that of those he could hire,<br />
Not a servant so faithful he found;<br />
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire —<br />
At the close of each week to be wound.<br />
And it kept in its place — not a frown upon its face,<br />
And its hands never hung by its side.<br />
But it stopped short — never to go again —<br />
When the old man died.

:Ninety years without slumbering <br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:His life's seconds numbering,<br /> (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 —<br />
An alarm that for years had been dumb;<br />
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight —<br />
That his hour of departure had come.<br />
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime,<br />
As we silently stood by his side; <br />
But it stopped short — never to go again —<br />
When the old man died.

:Ninety years without slumbering <br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:His life's seconds numbering,<br /> (tick, tick, tick, tick),
:It stopped short — never to go again —
