Burl Ives - A little Bitty Tear      CHORUS:    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,    that I'd laugh when you walked away.      CHORUS:    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.      CHORUS:   Everything went like I planned it   And I 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       CHORUS:    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
