If the Creeks Don't Rise-Sunparlour Players

Rise, rise and shine Shoes on again, it's time You're working today, gonna have to pitch in while it's light If the creeks don't rise, I hope to see tomorrow all right Watch my father's hands plant some seeds again Hear my mother call the helpers in If the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim And if the creeks don't rise, we'll work 'til the light gets dim The helpers starts to feel sick The helpers think it's a trick, but They keep working hard, to send a little money back home Because in Mexico is where their family seeds are sown But, now the Sun Parlour is where they call their home Smell that water coming across the field I wanta get some I wanna get in the way of that great big old irrigation gun Call all your friends Tell your parents, they too can attend Come on farmers, come on trees Feel that coolness in the breeze Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a time Because if the creeks don't rise, we're gonna have a We're gonna have a time Night is coming in All of the fields, they are empty as We sit down to eat and I wrestle my Dad to the ground With so much fun around, you can't even hear the sound Rise, rise and shine Shoes on again, it's time My brother and I hear a sound It sounds like a rod The creeks have risen, risen like never before The creeks have risen like they've done before
