If The Good Lords Willing

B E


[Verse 1]
B
If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays down
        E
I'll be in your arms time the moon come around
      B                                    E
For a taste of love that's shining in your eyes
       B
If the rooster crows at the crackin' of the dawn
     E
I'll be there just as sure as you're born
       A                  B                     E
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise


[Verse 2]
A
I'll feed the mules and stop the hogs
E
Feed the cows and chop all the logs
E
Get all of my working done
         F#                     B
'Cause tonight we're gonna have lots of fun
        E
Just as sure as the rabbits are a jumping in the hollow
     A
I'll be there, you can bet your bottom dollar
Continues after the ad
       B                                        E
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise

[Verse 3]
B
If the good Lord's willing and the creek stays low
     E
I'll be there a knockin' at your door
       B                                E
With a hug and a kiss for the one I idolize
     B
I'll wear my suit, my Sunday best
     E
I'll be there lookin' my best
       A                  B                     E
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise


[Verse 4]
A
I'll comb my hair down, brush my teeth
E
Shine up, slick up, dress up neat
E
Get everything looking just right
         F#                         B
'Cause I want to look pretty when I see you tonight
        E
Just as sure as there ever was a preacher man
     A
I'll be there with a ring for your hand
       B                                       E
If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise
