A Picture From Life's Other Side
Lyricist:Hank Sr Williams
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures Hang the scenes that are painted from life There's pictures of love and of passion And there hangs a pictures of peace and of strife
There hangs pictures of youth and of beauty Of old age and the blushing young bride They all hang on the wall, aw but the saddest of all Are the picture from life's other side
Yes, the picture from life's other side Someone has fell by the way A life has gone out with the tide Aw, that may have been happy some day
There a poor old mother at home She's watching and waiting alone Just longing to hear from a loved one, so dear It's just a picture from life's other side
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now, the first scene is that of a gambler Who'd lost all of his money playin' And then his draws his dead mother's ring from his finger That she wore long ago on her wedding day
Aw, it was his last earthly treasure but he staked it And then he bows his head that his shame he might hide Aw but when they lifted his head, they found he was dead That's just a picture from life's other side
Now, the last scene is set down by the river Of a heart-broken mother and babe And as the harbor lights shine and they shiver On an outcast that no one will save
And yet she was once a true woman She was somebody's darlin' and pride God help her, she leaps, for there's no one to weep It's just a picture from life's other side
