"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.

Phrase origin of Lord willing and the creek don't rise?
The saying alludes to possible attacks from Creek Indians and to James 4:13-17: Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
