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 cracking 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
Because I want to look pretty when I see you tonight
Just as sure as the rabbits are a jumping in the holler
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 knocking 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 looking my best

If the good Lord´s willing and the creeks don´t rise
I´ll feed the mules and slop the hogs
Feed the cows and chop all the logs
Get all of my working done
´Cause tonight we´re going to 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 creeks don´t rise
