"Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise".
Oh my goodness. I don't know this. Well, I'll guess, in times past they had to cross a creek to get to church-thus the adage-and the creek don't rise??

Oh boy, we are getting pounded with a thunder storm. It's coming down in pitchforks and hammer handles.

Oh my goodness. I don't know this.You never heard this feather? No kidding?
Two versions:
Lord willin' and the creek (pronounced crick) don't rise
and
Lord willin' and the saints don't rise.
Of course the first one and you'd drown, the second would be referencing the second coming. :-)
