If The Creek Don`t Rise — текст песни (Lynn Anderson)

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...
