Hank Williams Sr. - A picture from life's other side lyrics

Your rating:

In the worlds mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
And there's pictures of peace and of strife.

There hang pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old age, and the blushing young bride
They all hang on the wall
But the saddest of all
Are the pictures from lifes other side.

Just a picture from lifes 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
She's watching and waiting alone
Just longin' to hear
From a loved one so dear
It's just a picture from lifes other side.

The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had lost all his money at play
And he draws his dead mothers ring from his finger
That she wore long ago on her wedding day.

It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
And he bows his head that his shame that he might hide
But when they lifted his head
They found he was dead
That's just a picture from lifes other side.

Now the last scene, is that by the river
Of a heart broken mother and babe
as the harbor lights shine and they shimmer
On an outcast whom no-one will save.

And yet she was once a true woman
She was some bodys darlin' and pride
God help her she leaps
For there's no-one to weep
It's just a picture from lifes other side...
