Mason died on Monday, we bricked him in the wall |
|
All his children grew and grew, they ain't never grown so tall before |
|
They may never grow so tall again |
|
We dug him up on Tuesday, he hardly aged a day |
|
Taught us all we ever knew, we ain't never known so much before |
|
We may never know so much again |
|
The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate |
|
Mason's children ran and flew, they ain't never run so fast before |
|
Swore they'd never show their face again |
|
Mason was a mighty man, a mighty man was he |
|
Always said when I'm dead I'm gone, don't you weep for me |
|
Thursday came then Friday, with buyers tall and bright |
|
Mason's children cooked the stew and cleaned up when the feast was through |
|
Take me to the repo-man to pay back what is owed |
|
If he's in some other land write it off as stole |
