[Intro]
Come on
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Well, at sixteen she quit high school
To make her fortune in the promised land
She got a job behind the counter
At 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"
Come on, play it

[Verse 2]
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 on the hillside
Where little feet would soon run
From small things, mama, big things one day come

[Refrain]
Oh, but lovе was fleeting
It's sad but true
When your heart is bеating
You don't wanna hear the news
[Verse 3]
She packed her bags
And with a Wyomie County real estate man
She went down to Tampa
In an Eldorado Grand
She wrote back home, "Dear mama
Life is heaven in the sun
From small things, mama, big things one day come"
Ooh, yeah, professor

[Refrain]
Well, she shot him dead
On a sunny Florida road
But when they caught her all she said
She couldn't stand the way he drove

[Verse 4]
Back home lonesome Johnny
Waits for his baby's parole
He waits on the hillside
Where the Wyomie rivers roll
At his feet and almost grown now
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
From small things, mama, big things one day come
Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come
Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come
