(But, 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.
#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:
C F C G7 C
#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:
C F C G7 C
#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:
OUTRO: C G7 C A little bitty tear let me down.(x2.)
