Mason`s Children — текст песни (Grateful Dead)

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
