E
My name is Willis Grey

And I'm an honest man
A                                 E
Ten years I've been mayor of this town
E
My daddy passed away

Back in 1893
       A                                        E
I been runnin the farm since we put him in the ground
           B
I say the prayers
          E
Over his head
         B                  A
And the last thing that he said
   E       A
"Remember son,
        B       A
You can be the one
         E         B                E
Who can lead this town through the rain."

I been here all my life
Fell in love Jenna White
I got married and had our daughter Mary Lou

And then I lost my bride
In the flood of '35
Did my best but there was nothing I could do

And this old world
Does it's will
I swear at times
I hear her still

"Don't cry
But don't say goodbye
For I'll keep you safe from the rain."

Yes my name is Willis Grey
And my name will die with me
Lord knows I've put my heart to this town

And its seems that every spring
By the dozen people leave
Ever since that blessed market bottomed out

And these might be
My dying days
But if you believe
Hear what I say

Yes it might be tough
But if we're strong enough
We can save these falls of rough
