| Far Side Bank of Jordan |
| Alison Krauss & The Cox Family |
| I believe my steps are growing wearier each day |
| Still I've got a journey on my mind |
| Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay |
| And my one regret is leaving you behind. |
| If it proves to be his will that I am first to go |
| And somehow I'll be feeling 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 waiting drawing pictures in the sand |
| And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout |
| And come running through |
| The shallow waters reaching for your hand. |
| Solo(Dobro) |
| Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare |
| It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes |
| 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 on the far side banks of Jordan |
| I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand |
| And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout |
| And come running through |
| The shallow waters reaching for your hand. |
| And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan |
| I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand |
| And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout |
| And come running through |
| The shallow waters reaching for your hand... |
