GRATEFUL DEAD - Mason's Children lyrics

rate me

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
