My Grandfather's Clock
Couverture de la partition originale de la chanson (1876)

My Grandfather's Clock est une chanson britannique de Henry Clay Work sortie en 1876. Elle est un standard des brass bands britanniques et du bluegrass.

Cette chanson a été reprise dans plusieurs jeux vidéo de toute sorte (WII Music, sur WII, Mini-piano, sur Ipod Tuch). Elle parle d'un horloge qui s'arrête après 90 ans de bonheur, mais cela fait plus de 130 ans qu'on la joue![réf. nécessaire]
