If The Creek Don't Rise

I been so lonesome I wanna go home ain't been home in ever so long

Goin' back home where happiness lies if the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

Goin' back home to see my mama agian all of my family and all of my friends

Wrap myself in family ties if the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

Goin' back home where happiness lies a thousand miles of a black road flies

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

Tired of chasin' fortune and fame tired of tryin' to make me a name

No one cares if I live or I die no one cares but my mama and I

This old world is selfish and cruel dog-eat-dog that's everyone's rule

These all things ain't money can buy

So I'm goin' back home where the grass grows high

If the Lord is a willing and the creek don't rise

If the Lord is a willing...
