《Pictures from Life’s Other Side》歌词

[00:00:00] Pictures from Life's Other Side - Hank Williams (汉克·威廉姆斯)

[00:00:05] In the world's mighty gallery of pictures

[00:00:09] Hang the scenes that are painted from life

[00:00:14] There's pictures of love and of passion

[00:00:19] And there's pictures of keys and of strife

[00:00:23] There hung pictures of youth and of beauty

[00:00:28] Of old age and a blushing young bride

[00:00:33] They all hung on the wall but the saddest of all

[00:00:38] Are the pictures from life's other side

[00:00:43] Just a picture from life's other side

[00:00:48] Someone has fell by the way

[00:00:53] A life has gone out with the tide

[00:00:58] That might have been happy some day

[00:01:03] There's a poor old mother at home

[00:01:08] She's watching and waiting alone

[00:01:13] Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear

[00:01:18] Just the picture from life's other side

[00:01:24] The first scene is that of a gambler

[00:01:28] Who had lost all of his money at play

[00:01:33] And he drowses dead mother's ring from his finger

[00:01:38] Which she wore long ago on her wedding day

[00:01:43] It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it

[00:01:48] Then bows his head that his shame he might hide

[00:01:53] But when they lifted his head they found he was dead

[00:01:58] That's just a picture from life's other side

[00:02:03] Now the last scene is that by the river

[00:02:08] Of a heartbroken mother and baby

[00:02:14] As the harbor lights shine and they shiver

[00:02:19] On an outcast soon no one will save

[00:02:24] And yet she was once a true woman

[00:02:29] She was somebody's darling and pride

[00:02:34] God help her she leaps oh there's no one to weep

[00:02:39] It's just a picture from life's other side
