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

When 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

But 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 full of funny

As you went out the door

That I'd have another one a waiting

I'd wave goodbye as you go

But 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 to make a frown

But a little bitty tear let me down

A little bitty tear

Let me down
