Letra : Mason’s Children (Live at Springer’s Inn, Portland, OR, January 18, 1970)
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
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
