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
|
