This song was written in the 19th century, it was a best seller when the machine that played your music was an educated daughter seated at the families piano and you fed her tea and sheet music. Hank Williams does a killer version of it too but because its his birthday, Woody does it here… I think its trying to tell us that there will always be suffering, so just try and help out every once in a while, because sometimes you’ll come across a mother and babe, in the harbor light glare see them shiver, out casts no one will save… but god help her she leaps, theirs no one to weep, and that’s just a picture from lifes others side.
this is just a picture from lifes other side
