A LITTLE BITTY TEAR (1961) - Burl Ives

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 funnies as you went out the door
That I'd have another was waiting

I'd wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear...
[ guitar - steel ]

Everything went like I planned it 

and I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it 

till she walked with a grip through the door

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

a little bitty tear let me down
