text: 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 dont 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
  Oh but love is fleeting
  Its sad but true
  But when your heart is beating
  You dont 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 couldnt stand the way he drove
  Back home lonesome Johnny
  Prays for his babys 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
