        C#
If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays down
        F#
I'll be in your arms time the moon come around
      C#                                    F#
For a taste of love that's shining in your eyes
       C#
If the rooster crows at the crackin' of the dawn
     F#
I'll be there just as sure as you're born
                    B     C#                     F#
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise

      B
I'll comb my hair down, brush my teeth
  F#
Shine up, slick up, dress up neat
Get everything looking just right
           G#                        C#
Because I want to look pretty when I see you tonight
         F#
Just as sure as the rabbits are a jumping in the holler
      B
I'll be there, you can bet your bottom dollar
                    C#                           F#
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
