My Grandfather's clock Music box

My Grandfather's Watch is a song written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work, the author of " The Route through Georgia ". It is a standard of British brass bands and coal bands, and is also popular in bluegrass music . The Oxford English Dictionary says that this song was the source of the term "grandfather clock" for a long clock.

A song told from the point of view of the grandchildren, about their grandfather's watch.

The watch is bought on the morning of my grandfather's birthday, and it has been working perfectly for 90 years, you only need to wind it up at the end of each week.

Nevertheless, the clock seems to be frighteningly aware of the good and bad events in the grandfather's life - it strikes 24 bells when the grandfather brings his bride to his house, and before his death, it strikes a terrible alarm clock, which, as the family understands, means that the grandfather is dying and is going to bed. After the death of the grandfather, the clock suddenly stops and no longer works.
