"If The Good Lord's Willing" lyrics

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 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
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 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 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 creeks don't rise
