From Small Things Big Things One Day Come lyrics

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
