If you`re ready and the creek don`t rise
If you`re ready with the furnace full
Trees were shakin` and the break was good
Finally lost him in the neck of the woods
If you`re ready and the creek don`t rise
Mr. Clancy was a dog of prey
Took the decent and the laughin` sheep
Mr. Clancy took his hand to you
But I`m not waiting just to prove it`s true
If you`re ready and the creek don`t rise
There`s something you must do
With head turned off and you knew (?)
If you`re ready and the creek don`t rise
