I once hear

The Lord willing, and
the Creeks don't rise!!

We used to say ".......and the Cricks don't rise".

I heard this on All My Children decades ago...a young man said to a young lady "You ain't got the sense God gave turnip greens".

One of my favorites though is.."There's more than one way to skin a cat". (I'm sure not to say that in front of our Deja).
