Grateful Dead - Mason's Children Lyrics
Mason died on monday, we bricked him in the wallAll his children grew and grew, they aint never grown so tall beforeThey may never grow so tall againWe dug him up on tuesday, he hardly aged a dayTaught us all we ever knew, we aint never known so much beforeWe may never know so much againThe wall collapsed on wednesday, we chalked it up to fateMasons children ran and flew, they aint never run so fast beforeSwore theyd never show their face againMason was a mighty man, a mighty man was heAlways said when Im dead Im gone, dont you weep for meThursday came then friday, with buyers tall and brightMasons children cooked the stew and cleaned up when the feast was throughTake me to the repo-man to pay back what is owedIf hes in some other land write it off as stole
