[ with June Carter ] I believe my steps are growin' wearier each day Still I got another journey on my mind Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay And my one regret is leavin' you behind But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross And somehow I'll be feelin' it will be When it comes your times to travel like wise don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you'll see And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
Through this life we labor hard to earn our meager fare It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away Until you come then we'll see paradise And I'll be waiting... And I'll be waiting...
