"The Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise" is not a Who, but a phrase meaning the speaker will arrive or complete a task if the Lord allows and the creek (small brook or stream) doesn't flood making passage impossible. A pious statement alluding to all being according to God's will and also acknowledging man's inability to control natural forces. Recently, I was informed by a friend that the "creek" referred to in this expression is not a small brook or stream, but a reference to the Creek Indians. I want to know if anyone else has ever heard this reference.
