Translation
Bilingual
At sixteen she quit high school
To make a fortune in a promised land
She got a job behind the counter
Of 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
As 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 upon a hillside
Where little feet once had run
Small things mama, big things one day come
Good love is fleeting
It's sad but its true
But when your heart is bleeding
You don't wanna hear the news
She packed her bags
Went to Wyoming with a real estate man
They drove down to Tampa
In an Eldorado Grand
She writes home dear mama
Life is heaven in the sun
Small things mama, big things one day come
ย
She shot him dead
On a sunny Florida road
But when they caught her all she said
Was she couldn't stand the way he drove
Back home a lonesome Johnny
Waits for his baby's parole
He sits high on a hillside
Where the Wyoming river flows
At his feet and almost grown now
Sits a daughter and a handsome son
Small things mama, big things one day come
Small things mama, big things one day come
Small things mama, big things one day come
ย
Small things mama, big things one day come
Small things mama, big things one day come
Small things mama, big things one day come
