Lyrics
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 him all he ever knew They ain't never knew so much before They may never know so much 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 The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate All his children ran and hid They ain't never hid so fast before Swore they'd never show their face again 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 Take me to the Reaper Man to pay back what is owed If he's in some other land, write it off as stole Hey Take me to the Reaper Man to pay back what is owed If he's in some other land, write it off as stole
