 E                        F#
Mason died on Monday, we bricked him in the wall 
 D                A
All his children grew and grew, 
 E                         F#
They never grew so tall before 
 B                             D  A  E  A  E
They may never grow so tall again 
 
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 
 
 B                         F#m
Mason was a mighty man, a mighty man was he 
 C#m                                 E                  B
All he said when I'm dead I'm gone, don't you weep for me 
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 never hid so well before 
Swore they'd never show their face again 
 
Thursday came and Friday, with fires tall and bright 
Thursday came then Friday, with buyers 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 
 
Take me to the repo-man to pay back what was loaned 
If he's in some other land write it off as stoned
