Falls of Rough Cast Iron Filter
Band:Cast Iron Filter
Capo 1:
[E]My name is Willis Grey
And I'm an honest man
[A]Ten years I've been mayor of this [E]town
[E]My daddy passed away
Back in 1893
I been [A]runnin the farm since we put him in the g[E]round
I say the p[B]rayers
Over his h[E]ead
And the l[B]ast thing that he s[A]aid
"Re[E]member s[A]on,
You can [B]be the o[A]ne
Who can l[E]ead this t[B]own through the r[E]ain."
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
