Picture From Life's Other Side - Woody Guthrie
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
There are scenes that are painted from life
Scenes of youth and of beauty
Scenes of hardship and strife
Scenes of wealth and of plenty
Old age and the blushing young bride
Hang on the wall but the saddest of all
Is a pictures from life's other side
A picture from life's other side
Somebody has fell by the way
And a life has gone out with the tide
That might have been happy someday
Some poor mother at home
Is watching and a waiting alone
Longing to hear from her loved one so dear
That's a picture from life's other side
Now the first scene is one of two brothers
Their paths them both differently led
One lived in luxury and riches
And the other one begged for his bread
One night they met on the highway
Your money or life sir one cried
And then with his knife took his own brother's life
That's a picture from life's other side
Now the last scene is down by the river
Of a heart broken mother and babe
In the harbor light glare see them shiver
Outcasts that no one will save
Once she was once a true woman
Somebody's darlin' and pride
God help her she leaps for there's no one to weep
That's a picture from life's other side
A picture from life's other side
Somebody has fell by the way
And a life has gone out with the tide
That might have been happy someday
Some poor mother at home
Is watching and a waiting alone
Longing to hear from her loved one so dear
That's a picture from life's other side
