Burl Ives — A Little Bitty Tear

G                          D7         
When you said you were leaving to morrow 
                         G      
That today was our last day 
                      C         
I said there'd be no sorrow 
          G            D7         G        
That I'd laugh when you walked away. 
But 
 
Chorus: 
   G                          D7       
А little bitty tear let me down 
                     G        
Spoiled my act as a clown 
                               C        
I had it made up not to make a frown 
           G              D7         G        
Oh, but a little bitty tear let me down. 
 
I said I'd laugh when you left me 
Pull a funny as you went out he door 
That I'd have another one waiting 
To wave goodbye as you go 
But 
 
Chorus
 
Every thing went as I planned it 
And I really put on quite a show 
And I thought I was gonna stand it 
But when you got to the door 
Then
