If The Good Lord’s Willin’ (And The Creeks Don’t Rise)

Lyrics

A great big "hello" to you and all your wonderful listeners And I have a real big surprise for you Hank Jr. will be on the show Yes, Hank Jr. will be with us He's now nine years old Hello, everybody Like my daddy said If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise I'll see you, that's right If the good Lord's willing (If the good Lord's willing) And the creeks don't rise (And the creeks don't rise) I'll be looking into my baby's eyes When the sun comes up in Tennessee I could tell you right now where I'm gon' be I've been rambling around from place to place But I done got lonesome for my baby's face Tomorrow morning I'll be in paradise If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise There's a whole lot of 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 willing and the creeks don't rise I've got matrimony (Matrimony) On my mind (On my mind) I'm ready to sign on that dotted line (Yes) Well, I'll soon be there the way this Cadillac flies If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise There's a whole lot of 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 willing and the creeks don't rise I've got matrimony (Matrimony) On my mind (On my mind) I'm gonna ask that gal, sign on that dotted line (Yes) I'll soon be there the way this Caddy flies If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise I'm a lovesick man And these lonesome living alone blues I just can't stand I'm gon' be kissing my brand new bride If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise Have mercy Got matrimony (Matrimony) On my mind (On my mind) I mean, I'm ready to sign right there on the dotted line (Yes) That baby of mine's gonna get a surprise If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise Look out, Mrs. Hawkins Keep that dress down That baby of mine's gonna get a surprise If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise We're gon' have a reception at the Almeria I'll be there soon the way this Cadillac flies If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise (Yes)
