[CHORUS]
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

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

[repeat CHORUS]

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

But

[repeat CHORUS]

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

Then

[repeat CHORUS]

A little bitty tear let me down
(A little bitty tear let me down)
