Lyrics:
In 80 years, he'd never seen so much rain
A Tennessee boy, born and raised
Lost his legs fighting in the war
He was a strong man, good and brave
His wife Mary, she couldn't carry
She couldn't life him up from that wheelchair
As the waters rushed in
He begged her to leave him
But she smiled and pulled up her chair.
She said no.
No I won't go, I'll stay right here
and hold your hand
You are my life, and I am your wife
So let these waters come take us together.
Let em come take us together
For 60 years she was right by his side
3 babies grown, a pure, simple life
She was strong, and stubborn, and proud
She'd crawl a thousand miles to keep her vows
She couldn't carry
He was too weary
She just couldn't lift him up from that wheelchair
As the waters rushed in
He begged her to leave him
But she smiled and picked up her chair.
She said no.
No I won't go, I'll stay right here
and hold your hand
You are my life, and I am your wife
So let these waters come take us together.
Let em come take us together
They were found holding hands at the kitchen table
By a young husband who had sinned and been unfaithful
He knelt down and wept in his grief
Called it holy ground, that love brought him to his knees
Brought him to his knees
He cried
No I won't go, I'll stay right here
and hold your hand
You are my life, and I am your wife
So let these waters come heal us
What a love what a love what a love this is!
Southern Love, southern love
God help me love like this
Can you wash away my sins
With your love?
