THE OLD KITCHEN CLOCK Copyright, 1879, by Geo. W. Richardson & Co. Words and Music by J. W. Turner. 
The old, old clock I gaze on now to me is ever dear. Its busy hands have told the time for many long, long year; In boyhood days, those moments gone, I raw its welcome face. And listened to its gentle tick while standing in this place. 
Chorus. 'Twas ticking, ticking, ticking, ticking. ticking night And day; I love to hear it as of old, when it ticked the time away. 
The old, old clock I love to see, it looks like olden time In this old kitchen of my sire, when he was in his prime; It brings to me some happy thoughts that I would still retain, There let it stand-oh, may it e'er a treasure long remain.-Chorus. 
The old, old clock, the kitchen clock, of thee I love to sing; Thou art a relic of the past, well worth remembering; Tick on, tick on, the self same way, though scattered are the flock That loved to hear thy ticking once, thou dear old kitchen clock.- Chorus.
