 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
