2
In the world's mighty gall'ry of pictures
3
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
4
There's pictures of love and of passion
5
And there hangs a pictures of peace and of strife.
6
There hangs pictures of youth and of beauty'
7
Of old age and the blushing young bride
8
They all hang on the wall, aw, but the saddest of all
9
Are the picture from life's other side.
10
Chorus: (Sang)
11
Yes, te picture from life's other side
12
Someone has fell by the way
13
A life has gone out with the tide
14
Aw, That may have been happy some day.
15
There a poor old mother at home
16
She's watching and waiting alone
17
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear
18
It's just a picture from life's other side.
19
(Spoken)
20
Now the first scene is that of a gambler
21
Who'd lost all of his money playin'
22
And then his draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
23
That she wore long ago on her wedding day.
24
Aw, it was his last earthly treasure, but he staked it
25
And then he bows his head that his shame he might hide
26
Aw, but when they lifted his head, they found he was dead
27
That's just a picture from life's other side.
28
Now the last scene is set down by the river
29
Of a heart-broken mother and babe
30
And as the harbor lights shine and they shiver
31
On an outcast that no one will save.
32
And yet she was once a true woman
33
She was somebody's darlin' and pride
34
(Sang)
35
God help her, she leaps, for there's no one to weep
36
It's just a picture from life's other side...
