henry kaiser - mason's children lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mason died on monday
we bricked him in the wall
all his children grew and grew
they never grew so tall before
they may never grow so tall again

[verse 2]
we dug him up on tuesday
he’d hardly aged a day
taught them all we ever knew
they never knew so much before
they may never know so much again

[bridge]
mason was a mighty man
a mighty man was he
all he 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 never hid so well before
swore they’d never show their face again

[verse 4]
thursday came then friday
the fires tall and bright
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 reaper man
to pay back what was loaned
if he’s in some other land
write it off as stoned

[instrumental outro]
