A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE Sung by: Mrs. W.B. (Elizabeth) Apple (with piano accompaniment) Recorded in Huff, AR 8/27/62 Click here to listen to the original recording Are scenes that are painted from life. There's pictures of joy and of beauty; There's pictures of peace and of strife. Pictures of youth and of beauty, Old age, and blushing young bride. All hang on the wall, but the saddest of all Is a picture from life's other side. Chorus: 'Tis a picture from life's other side; Someone fell by the way. A life that's gone out with the tide, That might have been happy one day. Some poor old mother at home, Watching and waiting alone, Longing to hear from a loved one so dear; 'Tis a picture from life's other side. The first is a scene of two brothers Whose paths in different ways led. One was in luxury living; The other one begged for his bread. One night they met on the highway. "Your money, your life," the thief cried. He took with his knife his own brother's life; 'Tis a picture from life's other side. (Chorus) Also found in Randolph, Vol. IV, #603. |
