At 16, she quit high school to make her fortune in the Promised Land.
|
She gor a job behind the counter at 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 a hillside where little feet would soon run.
|
From small things, Mama, big things one day come.
|
|
Oh, but luck was fleeting. It's sad but it's true.
|
When your heart is bleeding, you don't want to hear it abused.
|
|
She packed her bags and went to Wyoming with a real estate 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 wide-open 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.
