From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)

At sixteen she quit high school

To make a fortune in a promised land

She got a job behind the counter

Of 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

As 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 upon a hillside

Where little feet once had run

Small things mama, big things one day come

Good love is fleeting

It's sad but its true

But when your heart is bleeding

You don't wanna hear the news

She packed her bags

Went to Wyoming with a real estate man

They drove down to Tampa

In an Eldorado Grand

She writes home dear mama

Life is heaven in the sun

Small things mama, big things one day come

She shot him dead

On a sunny Florida road

But when they caught her all she said

Was she couldn't stand the way he drove

Back home a lonesome Johnny

Waits for his baby's parole

He sits high on a hillside

Where the Wyoming river flows

At his feet and almost grown now

Sits a daughter and a handsome son

Small things mama, big things one day come

Small things mama, big things one day come

Small things mama, big things one day come

Small things mama, big things one day come

Small things mama, big things one day come

Small things mama, big things one day come
