Burl Ives - A Little Bitty Tear lyrics

A little bitty tear let me down Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up, not to make a frown But a little bitty tear let me down You said, you were leavin’ 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 to 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 one waitin’ 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 to make a frown But a little bitty tear let me down Everything went like I planned it And I really put on quite a show In my heart I felt I could stand it Till you walked with your grip through the door Then A little bitty tear let me down Spoiled my act as a clown I had it made up, not make a frown But, oh, a little bitty tear let me down A little bitty tear let me down (A little bitty tear let me down)
