in the world s mighty gallery of pictures hang the scenes that re painted from life there s pictures of love and of passion and there s pictures of keys and of strife there hung pictures of youth and of beauty of old age and a blushing young bride they all hung on the wall but the saddest of all are the pictures 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 she s watching and waiting alone just longing to hear from a loved one so dear just a picture from life s other side the first scene is that of a gambler who had lost all of his money at play and he drowses dead mother s ring from his finger which she wore long ago on her wedding day it s his last earthly treasure but he stakes it then bows his head that his 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 baby as the harbor lights shine and they shiver on an outcast soon no one will save and yet she was once a true woman she was somebody s darling and pride god help her she leaps oh there s no one to weep it s just a picture from life s other side1
