Well a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not to make a frown oh 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...



I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door

That I'd have another was a waiting I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear let me down...

[ steel ]

Everything went out 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...

A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
