Little Bitty Tear

                                  A little bitty tear let me down, 

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown, 

But a little bitty tear let me down.



You said you were leaving tomorrow

That today was our last day

I said there'd be no sorrow, 

That I'd laugh when you walked away.



A little bitty tear let me down, 

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown, 

But a little bitty tear let me down.



I said I'd laugh when you left me

Pull a funny as you went out the door

That I'd have another waiting

And I'd wave goodbye as you go.



A little bitty tear let me down, 

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown, 

But a little bitty tear let me down.



Everything went like a planned it

And really put on quite a show

In my heart I felt I could stand it

Till you walked with your grip through the door.

A little bitty tear let me down, 

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown, 

But a little bitty tear let me down.



A little bitty tear let me down.
