From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) |
At sixteen she quit high school to |
make her fortune in the promised land |
She got a job behind the counter in an |
all night hamburger stand |
She wrote faithfully home to mama |
«Now mama don’t you worry none» |
From small things, mama |
Big things one day come |
It was late one Friday he pulled in |
out of the dark |
He was tall and handsome; |
first she |
took his order, then she took his heart |
They bought a house up on the hillside |
Where little feet soon would run |
From small things, mama |
Big things one day come |
BRIDGE: |
Oh but love is fleeting |
it’s sad but true |
But when your heart is beating |
You don’t wanna hear the news |
She packed her bags |
and with a Wyomie County real estate man |
She ran down to Tampa |
In and «El Dorado Grande» |
She wrote back home, «Dear Mama |
Life is just heaven in the sun |
From small things, mama |
Big things one day come» |
Well she shot him dead |
On a sunny Florida road |
When they caught her all she said |
Was she couldn’t stand the way he drove |
Back home lonesome Johnny |
Prays for his baby’s parole |
He waits on the hillside |
Where the Wyomie waters roll |
At his feet and almost grown now |
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son |
Well from small things, mama |
Big things one day come |
Well from small things, mama |
Big things one day come |
