A Picture from Life's Other Side - Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger[00:00:00]

Written by：Guthrie[00:00:02]

In the world's mighty gallery of pictures[00:00:03]

There's scenes that're painted from life[00:00:07]

Scenes of youth and of beauty[00:00:12]

Scenes of hardship and strife[00:00:16]

Scenes of wealth and of plenty[00:00:20]

Old age and a blushing young bride[00:00:23]

Hang on the wall but the saddest of all[00:00:28]

Is the pictures from life's other side[00:00:32]

A picture from life's other side[00:00:36]

Somebody has fell by the way[00:00:40]

And a life has gone out with the tide[00:00:45]

That might have been happy some day[00:00:48]

There's a poor old mother at home[00:00:53]

She's watching and waiting alone[00:00:57]

Longing to hear from a loved one so dear[00:01:01]

Just a picture from life's other side[00:01:05]

Now the first scene is one of two brothers[00:01:12]

Their parents lost all of his money at play[00:01:16]

One lived in luxury and riches[00:01:20]

And the other went beg for his bread[00:01:24]

One night they met on the highway[00:01:28]

Your money or lives sir they cried[00:01:33]

Then with his knife took his own brother life[00:01:36]

That's a picture from life's other side[00:01:41]

Now the next scene is that by the river[00:01:46]

A heartbroken mother and babe[00:01:50]

In the harbor lights shine and they shiver[00:01:54]

Outcast soon no one will save[00:01:59]

Once she was a true woman[00:02:02]

Somebody's darling and pride[00:02:07]

God help her she leaps there's no one to weep[00:02:11]

That's a picture from life's other side[00:02:15]

That's a picture from life's other side[00:02:19]

Somebody has fell by the way[00:02:23]

And a life has gone out with the tide[00:02:27]

That might have been happy some day[00:02:31]

Some poor mother at home[00:02:35]

Watching and waiting alone[00:02:39]

Longing to hear from a loved one so dear[00:02:43]

That's a picture from life's other side[00:02:47]
