A Little Bitty Tear

Burl Ives - A little Bitty Tear



CHORUS:

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.



CHORUS:

I said I'd laugh when you left me

Pull a funny as you went out the door

That I'd have another one waiting

And I'd wave goodbye as you go.



CHORUS:

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



CHORUS:

A little bitty tear let me down,

spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not make a frown,

Oh but a little bitty tear let me down.



A little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear let me down
