"My Grandfather's Clock" was often played in Britain on "Children's Favourites". It was recorded by the Radio Revellers. In the United States, a version, without the last stanza of lyrics was recorded on an extended-play 45 rpm vinyl record on the Peter Pan label. (The other song on that side was "The Syncopated Clock", and the other side had "The Arkansas Traveler" and "Red River Valley".) Johnny Cash covered the song on his 1959 album "Songs of Our Soil". Evelyn Knight recorded the song for Decca Records. In 1959, it was included on the Four Lads' album, "Swing Along". Other versions became popular in other countries, for example, in Japan, singer Ken Hirai performed a cover, which became massively popular in 2002.
