Lyrics for If the Good Lord's Willing

If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays down I'll be in your arms time the moon come around For a taste of love that's shining in your eyes If the rooster crows at the crackin' of the dawn I'll be there just as sure as you're born If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise I'll comb my hair down brush my teeth Shine up slick up dress up neat Get everything looking just right 'Cause I want to look pretty when I see you tonight Just as sure as the rabbits are a jumping in the hollow I'll be there you can bet your bottom dollar If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays low I'll be there a knockin' at your door With a hug and a kiss for the one I idolize I'll wear my suit, my Sunday best, I'll be there lookin' my best If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise I'll feed the mules and stop the hogs feed the cows and chop all the logs Get all of my working done cause tonight we're gonna have lots of fun Just as sure as there ever was a preacher man I'll be there with a ring for your hand If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise
