Lyrics A Little Bitty Tear - Burl Ives

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 (ooh, ooh, ooh)
That I'd laugh when you walked away

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
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another waiting (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I'd wave goodbye as you go

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
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Everything went like a planned it
And really put on quite a show
In my heart, I felt I could stand it (ooh, ooh, ooh)
'Til 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 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
