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
