Johnny Cash - If the Good Lord’s Willing lyrics

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 a-looking just right
'Cause I want to look pretty
When I see you tonight
Just as sure as the rabbit's 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 a-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
