If The Good Lord's Willing - Original - Johnny Cash

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
