Far Side Banks of Jordan is on June Carter Cash and Johnny Cash's CD, Press On. As Mark Clark said, it is a moving song.
On the CD they talk about how they got the song- written by a schoolteacher in New York - and they alternate verses. In the second verse, June sings:
"And if it proves to be His will that I am first to go And somehow I've a feeling it will be When it's your turn to go likewise, don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you see."
