The Walkabouts - Mr. Clancy lyrics

If you're ready and the creek don't rise If you're ready with the furnace full Trees were shakin' and the break was good Finally lost him in the neck of the woods If you're ready and the creek don't rise Mr. clancy was a dog of prey Took the decent and the laughin' sheep Mr. clancy took his hand to you But i'm not waiting just to prove it's true If you're ready and the creek don't rise There's something you must do With head turned off and you knew (?) If you're ready and the creek don't rise
