From Small Things, Big Things Grow

歌詞

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 would soon run From small things, mama, big things one day come Oh, but love was fleeting It's sad but it's true When your heart is beating You don't want to hear the news She packed her bags and with a Wyomie County real state man She drove down to Tampa in an Eldorado Grand She wrote back, "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 waits for his baby's parole He waits high 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 From small things, mama, big things one day come Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come From small things, mama, big things one day come From small things, mama, big things one day come Yeah, from small things, mama, big things one day come
