If the Good Lord's Willin' (And the Creeks Don't Rise)

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

I'll be lookin' into my baby's eyes

When the sun comes up in Tennessee

I could tell you right now where I'm gonna be

I've been ramblin' around from place to place

But I done got lonesome for my baby's face

Tomorrow mornin' I'll be in paradise

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

There's a whole lotta water between here and there

And I sure hope that the weather stays fair

That baby of mine is in for quite a surprise

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

I've got matrimony on my mind

I'm ready to sign on that dotted line

Well I'll soon be there the way this Cadillac flies

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

There's a whole lotta water between here and there

Man I hope that this weather stays fair

That baby of mine's gonna get a surprise

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

I've got matrimony on my mind

I'm gonna ask that gal, sign on the dotted line

I'll soon be there the way this Cadillac flies

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

I'm a lovesick man

And these lonesome livin' alone blues I just can't stand

I'm gonna be kissin' my brand new bride

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

Got matrimony on my mind

I mean I'm ready to sign right there on the dotted line

That baby of mine gonna get a surprise

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

That baby of mine gonna get a surprise

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

I'll be there soon the way this Cadillac flies

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
