God Willing and the Creek Don't Rise Lyrics

The preacher said to Jesus

Why don't you join me on tv

You could testify that you've found the Lord

You could stand right next to me

We'll put a Seven Eleven at the gates of heaven

Saint Peter and a lottery prize

Then write off the cost through eternity

God willing and the creek don't rise

God willing and the creek don't rise

It's getting hard to recognize

What Saint Peter will say on the judgment day

When he cuts me down to size

Am I gonna get in after a lifetime of sin

God willing and the creek don't rise

Jesus said to the preacher

That ain't the way I got it planned

I'm hitting the road with a drummer named toad

And a sympathetic three piece band

And while you're selling off salvation

To a crowded room full of suits and ties

I'll be playing the blues to a room full of jews

God willing and the creek don't rise

God willing and the creek don't rise

It's getting hard to recognize

What Saint Peter will say on the judgment day

When he cuts me down to size

Am I gonna get in after a lifetime of sin

God willing and the creek don't rise

The preacher said to Jesus

We could make it look like this

That you rose from the dead and then went out of your head

For the love of some hungry kiss

We'd say you wandered around almost two thousand years

Until I found you in a thief's disguise

Then I'd remove your sin as the money rolled in

God willing and the creek don't rise.

God willing and the creek don't rise

It's getting hard to recognize

What Saint Peter will say on the judgment day

When he cuts me down to size

Am I gonna get in after a lifetime of sin

God willing and the creek don't rise

Jesus said to the preacher

Read that bible that you quote

The last time that people like you were in charge

I had somebody build a boat

Noah called it an ark and as the skies grew dark

Saved the souls who wouldn't send you blood

It rained day after day

Your money washed away

God was willing and he sent a flood

God willing and the creek don't rise

It's getting hard to recognize

What Saint Peter will say on the judgment day

When he cuts me down to size

Am I gonna get in after a lifetime of sin

God willing and the creek don't rise

Merrily we roll along

Roll along

Roll along

Merrily we roll along

O'er the deep blue sea

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

We're going to say goodbye

Merrily we roll along

Roll along

Roll along

Merrily we roll along

O'er the deep blue sea

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

We're going to leave you now

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

Good night ladies

God willing and the creek don't rise
