[00:12.69]She got a job behind the counter in an all-night hamburger stand
[00:18.75]She wrote faithfully home to mama, "Now mama, don't you worry none
[00:25.35]From small things, mama, big things one day come"
[00:27.57]It was late one Friday, he pulled in out of the dark
[00:37.05]He was tall and handsome, first she took his order then she took his heart
[00:44.43]They bought a house up on the hillside where little feet would soon run
[00:48.06]From small things, mama, big things one day come

[00:57.42]It's sad but it's true
[01:05.25]When your heart is beating

[01:19.53]She wrote back, "Dear mama, life is just heaven in the sun
[01:26.97]From small things, mama, big things one day come"

[02:00.18]On a sunny Florida road
[02:04.05]When they caught her all she said

[02:11.25]Back home, lonesome Johnny waits for his baby's parole
[02:13.95]He waits high on the hillside where the Wyomie rivers roll
[02:18.36]At his feet and almost grown now, a blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
[02:24.57]From small things, mama, big things one day come
[02:32.91]From small things, mama, big things one day come
[02:38.76]Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come
