When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day   You said there'd be no sorrow and you'd laugh when I 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      Well I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door   You said you'd have another one waiting to wave goodbye as I go   But a little bitty tear let me down...   [ guitar - steel ]   Well everything went out like I planned it yes you really put on quite a show   Well I've thought thgat I was gonna stand it oh when I walked to the door   Oh a little bitty tear let me down...   A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down
