In the world's mighty gallery of pictures hang scenes that're painted from life There's pictures of love and of passion and there's pictures of piece and of strife There hung pictures of youth and of beauty and of old age and a blushing young bride But the saddest of all they don't hung on the wall The first scene is that of a gambler who had lost all his money at play And 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 in shame he might hide 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 that by the river of a heartbroken mother and babe As the harbor lights shine and they shiver on an outcast whom no one will save Now yet she was once a true woman she was somebody's darling and pride But God help her she leaps and there's no one to weep That's a picture from life's other side Just a picture from life's other side someone has fell by the way A life has gone out with the tide that might have been happy some day There's a poor old mother at home watching and waiting alone Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear just a picture from life's other sideTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
