George Jones - A Picture From Life's Other Side Lyrics
In the world's mighty gall'ry of pictures
Hang the scenes that are painted from life,
There's pictures of love and of passion,
And there hangs a pictures of peace and of strife,
There hangs pictures of youth and of beauty'
They all hang on the wall, aw, but the saddest of all,
Are the picture from life's other side.
Yes, The picture from life's other side,
Someone has fell by the way;
A life has gone out with the tide
Aw, That may have been happy some day;
There a poor old mother at home
She's watching and waiting alone,
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear,
Now the first scene is that of a gambler
Who'd lost all of his money playin',
And then his draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore long ago on her wedding day.
Aw, it was his last earthly treasure, but he staked it
And then he bows his head that his shame he might hide,
Aw, but when they lifted his head, they found he was dead,
That's just a picture from life's other side.
Now the last scene is set down by the river,
Of a heart-broken mother and babe,
And as the harbor lights shine and they shiver,
On an outcast that no one will save;
And yet she was once a true woman,
She was somebody's darlin' and pride,
God help her, she leaps, for there's no one to weep,
It's just a picture from life's other side...

George Jones A Picture From Life's Other Side Comments
It's sad that you can't find an original recording of Hank Williams Sr's version of this song on YouTube. There's a lot of covers but none of Hank Sr's recordings.
+TDK189 I reckon they've blocked some versions of this tune. I had a version posted by Hank Jr. And they blocked it from being posted. Weird they do that for certain songs.
Yea, it is weird especially if they're blocking the original versions of those songs that they're blocking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M_AHB0g98E A version done by Hank.
great song,,, sad and still so good ,,,done by many artists,,, george do it real good ☺ thanks for sharing brent ☺
+Anne Marie Haugland thanks for listening Anne
you paid your tribute. to the true king of real country
this song is sung now Hank would agree
Beautiful George singing his heroes song. Don't get much more prettier then this!!
Didn't even know the Possum did this one. I like Hanks more, but this is great.
This is more Bradley Kincaid's song than Hank's.
"JONESIN"
*Smith's Sacred Singers
Not a Hank original. The Sacred Singers wrote this #. Woody Guthrie covered it also...and maybe The Carters trio.
george done an excellent job with hanks song !!!!! this song among a lot of hanks songs sure makes ya think
Beautiful thought provoking song.
