(Hank Williams)      In the world's mighty gallery of pictures   Hang the scenes that're painted from life   There hang pictures of love and of passion   And there's pictures of sorrow and strife.      There hang pictures of youth and of beauty   Of old age and a blushing young bride   But the saddest of all that hang on the wall   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   Who's watching and waiting alone   Just longing to hear   From a loved one so dear.   It's a picture from life's other side.      Now the first scene is that of a gambler   Who's lost all his money at play   And he reaches down and takes   His dead mother's ring from her finger.      The one that 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   When they lifted his head   They found he was dead.   It'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 that no one can save.      And yet she was once a true woman   She was somebody's darling and pride   God help her she leaps for there's no one to weep   It's a picture from life's other side...
