Henry Clay Work (October 1, 1832 – June 8, 1884) was an American composer and songwriter. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. Work produced much of his best material during the American Civil War. In 1865 he wrote his greatest hit, "Marching Through Georgia", inspired by Sherman's march to the sea at the end of the previous year. A massive hit was "My Grandfather's Clock", published in 1876. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Henry+Clay+Work">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes
- “"Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the Jubilee!Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!"So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,While we were marching through Georgia.”
- “It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,And was always his treasure and pride;But it stopp'd short never to go againWhen the old man died.”
- “Father, dear father, come home with me now!The clock in the steeple strikes three;The house is so lonely, the hours are so longFor poor weeping mother and me.Yes, we are alone, poor Benny is dead,And gone with the angels of light;And these were the very last words that he said,"I want to kiss Papa good night."”
