A Little Bitty Tear:Burl Ives.
#1 in 1961.
INTRO: C F C G7 C
CHORUS:
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.
#1.
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.
CHORUS:
But 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.
#2.
I said I'd laugh when you left me,
pull a funny as you went out the door..
that I'd have another one waitin',
I'd wave good..bye as you go..But..
CHORUS:
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.
#3.
Everything went like I planned it,
and I really put on quite a show.
In my heart I felt I could stand it,
Til you walked with your grip through the door.
CHORUS:
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, but a little bitty tear let me down.
OUTRO:
A little bitty tear let me down.(x2.)
