The verses may be in the wrong order but it's all pretty much the same:
In the Dworld's mighty gallery of Dpictures
There're Gscenes that are painted from Dlife,
DScenes of youth and of Dbeauty,
A7Scenes of hardship and A7strife,
DScenes of wealth and of Dplenty,
Old Gage and the blushing young Dbride,
They Ghang on the wall - but the Dsaddest of all
Are the A7pictures from life's other Dside.
A Dpicture from life's other Dside
GSomeone has fell by the Dway
And a Dlife has gone out with the Dtide
That A7might have been happy someA7day
DSome poor mother at Dhome
Is Gwatching and a-waiting Dalone
GLonging to hear - from her Dloved one so dear
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
Now the Dfirst scene is one of two Dbrothers
Their Gpaths them both diff'rently Dled
DOne lived in luxury and Driches
And the A7other one begged for his A7bread
DOne night they met on the Dhighway
"Your Gmoney or life, sir", one Dcried
And Gthen with his knife - took his Down brother's life
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
The Dnext scene is that of a Dgambler
Who had Glost all his money at Dplay
An' he Ddraws his dead mother's ring from his Dfinger
That she A7wore long ago on her wedding A7day
It's his Dlast earthly treasure, but he Dstakes it
Then he Gbows his head that his shame he may Dhide
But, when they Glifted his head - they Dfound he was dead
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
A Dpicture from life's other Dside
GSomeone has fell by the Dway
And a Dlife has gone out with the Dtide
That A7might have been happy someA7day
DSome poor mother at Dhome
Is Gwatching and a-waiting Dalone
GLonging to hear - from her Dloved one so dear
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
Now the Dlast scene is down by the Driver
Of a Gheart-broken mother and Dbabe
In the Dharbor light glare see them Dshiver
A7Outcasts that no one will A7save
DOnce she was once a true Dwoman
GSomebody's darlin' and Dpride
God Ghelp her, she leaps - for there's Dno one to weep
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
A Dpicture from life's other Dside
GSomeone has fell by the Dway
And a Dlife has gone out with the Dtide
That A7might have been happy someA7day
DSome poor mother at Dhome
Is Gwatching and a-waiting Dalone
GLonging to hear - from her Dloved one so dear
That's a A7picture from life's other Dside.
