A Picture From Life's Other Side Lyrics - My Dusty Road - Woody Guthrie

In the world's mighty gallery of pictures 

There's scenes that're painted from life 

Scenes of youth and of beauty 

Scenes of hardship and strife 

Scenes of wealth and of plenty 

Old age and a blushing young bride 

Hang on the wall but the saddest of all 

Is the 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 some day 

There's a poor old mother at home 

She's watching and waiting alone 

Longing to hear from a loved one so dear 

Just a picture from life's other side

Now the first scene is one of two brothers 

Who had lost all of his money at play 

One lived in luxury and riches 

And the other went beg for his bread 

One night they met on the highway 

"Your money or lives, sir," they cried 

Then with his knife took his own brother life 

That's a picture from life's other side 

Now the next scene is that by the river 

A heartbroken mother and babe 

In the harbor lights shine and they shiver 

Outcast, soon no one will save 

Once she was once a true woman 

Somebody's darling and pride 

God help her she leaps, there's no one to weep 

That's a picture from life's other side
