  • In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
    There're scenes that are painted from life,
    Scenes of youth and of beauty,
    Scenes of hardship and strife,
    Scenes of wealth and of plenty,
    Old age and the blushing young bride,
    Hang on the wall - but the saddest of all
    Is a pictures from life's other side.
    Chorus:A picture from life's other side
    Someone has fell by the way
    And a life has gone out with the tide
    That might have been happy someday
    Some poor mother at home
    Is watching and a-waiting alone
    Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear
    That's a picture from life's other side.
    Now the first scene is one of two brothers
    Their paths them both diff'rently led
    One lived in luxury and riches
    And the other one begged for his bread
    One night they met on the highway"Your money or life, sir", one cried
    And then with his knife - took his own brother's life
    That's a picture from life's other side.
    The next scene is that of a gambler
    Who had lost all his money at play
    An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
    That she wore long ago on her wedding day
    It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
    Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
    But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
    That's a picture from life's other side.
    ChorusNow the last scene is down by the river
    Of a heart-broken mother and babe
    In the harbor light glare see them shiver
    Outcasts that no one will save
    Once she was once a true woman
    Somebody's darlin' and pride
    God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
    That's a picture from life's other side.
    Chorus
