My Grandfather's Clock

Warsaw, Poland

"My Grandfather's Clock" is a song written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work, the author of "Marching Through Georgia".
Johnny Cash covered the song twice: on his 1959 album "Songs of Our Soil" and his 1975 album "The Johnny Cash Children's Album".

I wish I'd picked Johnnie Cash - his songs titles have names - whereas the Beatles are more like feelings
It's an attractive old clock and looks like it could have belonged to his grandfather!!
