Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mason died on Monday, we bricked him in the wall All his children grew and grew They ain't never grew so tall before They may never grow so tall again [Verse 2] We dug him up on Tuesday, he hardly aged a day Taught them all he ever knew They never knew so much before They may never know so much again [Refrain] Mason was a mighty man, mighty man was he Always said "When I'm dead and gone, don't you weep for me" Hey [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate All his children ran and hid They ain't never hid so well before Swore they'd never show their face again [Verse 4] Thursday came then Friday, with buyers tall and bright But Mason's children cooked the stew And cleaned up when the feast was through Swore they'd never had such times before [Outro] Take me to the repo man to pay back what is owed If he's in some other land, write it off as stole
