歌詞

In the world's mighty gallery of pictures There are 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 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 differently 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 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 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 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
