A little bit
of tear let me down,
spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not to make a frown,
but a little bit of 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
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another one waiting
And 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 bit of tear let me down.
Everything went like I planned it,
And I really put on quite a show.
In my heart I thought 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
Oh, a little bitty tear let me down
A little bitty tear let me down
A little bitty tear let me down
