Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise was used by country folks, especially in Appalachia, for generations.
It meant that if the Lord saw fit to let you live to the day/event in question and the creek wasn’t too rain swollen to wade across then you would be at the place/event in question. Most country folks walked where they needed to go. Horses weren’t commonly ridden by farmers.
