In theD world's mighty gall'ry of pictures
Hang Gscenes that are painted from Dlife
There's pictures of joy and of sorrow
There's Epictures of peace and of sAtrife
There's pDictures of youth and beauty
GOld age and the blushing young bDride
All hGang on the wall, but the Dsaddest of all
Is a Apicture from life's other Dside.
DJust a picture from life's other side
SomeGone who fell by the wDay
A life has gone out with the tide
That Emay have been happy one Aday
Some pDoor old mother at home
Is wGatching and waiting aDlone
Just lGonging to hear from her lDoved ones so dear
It's a pAicture from life's other sDide.
The first scene is that of a gambler
Who lost all his money at play
Draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore on her wedding day
His last earthly treasure, he stakes it
Bows his head that his shame he might hide
When they lifted his head, they found he was dead
It's a picture from life's other side..
The next scene is that of two brothers
Whose paths in life different ways led
The one was a-livin' in luxury
While t'other one begged for his bread
One dark night they met on a high3way
"Your money or life" the thief cried
Then he took with his knife his dear brother's life
It's a picture from life's other side.
The next scene is down by the river
A heart-broken mother and child
The old harbor lights stand and shiver
On an outcast that no one will save
Perhaps she was once a good woman
Somebody's darlin' and pride
God help her, she leaps, there is no one to weep
It's a picture from life's other side.
