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 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
