Only thing I could find of Johnny Cash were mp3wav's and I don't know how to link them. Think they have to be downloaded and that takes alot of storage space...more than I have.

Did find the lyric's to a song that he and June sang on his Tribute Page and thought it may be fitting to post it here.

Johnny Cash
February 28, 1932 - September 12, 2003
Far Side Banks Of Jordan
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day,
Still I have a journey on my mind;
The wars of this old world has ceased to make me want to stay,
But my one regret is leaving you behind.

If it proves to be God's will that I am first to go,
And somehow I've a feeling it will be;
When it comes your time to travel, likewise, don't prolong,
For I will be there waiting, don't you see.

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 a shout,
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand.

Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare,
It brought us trembling hands and failing eyes;
I'll just rest there on the shore and wait for that glad day,
Until you join me there in paradise.

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 a shout,
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand.

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 a shout,
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand.

And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand.

I love this!Thank you, Aqua.

I've always flet this way about my family who have gone before me, that they'd be there helping me to cross over.

Uh-oh! Wolfie's gettin' maudlin. LOL

Wow..the words give me goose bumps, being that they left the earth so close in time to each other. It says he wrote it, and he says that he feels he will be the first to go.......he must have been the most surprised of all that June left first, huh?
