Greatful Dead Masons Children Lyrics

Masons Children 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 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
