Cash, Johnny - 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 crackin' 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
'Cause I want to look pretty when I see you tonight
Just as sure as the rabbits are a jumping in the hollow
I'll be there you can bet your bottom dollar
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
I'll be there a knockin' 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 lookin' my best
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
I'll feed the mules and stop the hogs feed the cows and chop all the logs
Get all of my working done cause tonight we're gonna 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 creek don't rise

Cash, Johnny If The Good Lord's Willing Comments
This song title just randomly popped in my head so I just had to scratch the itch per se
My Daddy sang this to my brothers and I growing up! Oh what memories!!
Survived the August 2016 creeks rising in Louisiana! Good to hear Johnny Cash sing.
The Creeks were a tribe of Native Americans
@Omar S It was saying if the good lord's willing and the creeks don't rise. It is talking about the bodies of water called creeks.
The original statement probably did refer to the Creek tribe, but the common usage (and the usage in this song) is plural, referencing inclement weather that would cause flooding.
david evans I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny Cash was a tad bit racist but at the time who wasn't? Still a great artist
WormChemistry he has songs about Native American struggles. I believe he respected the Indians.
cash did not write this song
who's playing guitar on this track?
Probably Johnny Cash.
Johnny Cash only played Rhythm guitar, but the lead is Luther Perkins. He was he lead guitarist from 1955-1968.
+CashPresley32 thanks.
@slimturnpike Your welcome.
Good song!
Nice save! :)
Written by a young Jerry Reed.
good version, but like the original JC version better. Good vid tho
@changeling12234 lmao at some ppl just lose control if someone messes with Cash's lyrics. It's understandable. ;-)
@changeling12234 No problem, thanks for the correction.
Great, now I feel like a dick. Sorry bout that man. Have a nice life. It's a great song.
@changeling12234 Well, just took em from some of those lyric sites, some times there are wrong. Happens all time, I'll change them, thanks.
haha...idiot person wrote the lyrics...it isn't "I'll feed the mules and stop the hogs." It's "I'll feed the mules and slop the hogs." That means he's going to feed the hogs....idiot.....!
changeling12234 well that's a little harsh
are there any tabs for this? if yes could someone please tell me?^^ anyway 5 stars for the man in black
and the creek don't rise...
