It sounds like you mean "The Sick Note"
(Chords and Lyrics Here)

It's a traditional Irish song, also known as "The Bricklayer's Song"

The mythbusters (Discover Channel guys) did a segment on this sad tale of the barrel of bricks. They decided it could have occurred but not too likely.
They had a lady who was a folklore expert on, and she said the story first appeared in a joke book in 1918. She doesnt think it ever happened for real, but we will never know.
Thanks for making me aware of the song. I had only ever heard the story when it was reported as an actual workmens compensation case. I've had fun telling that story to a lot of people.
