Lyric 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
