Mason's Children

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
