A Little Bitty Tear
 by Wanda Jackson

C                              G7

When you said you were leaving tomorrow

That today was our last day

I said there'd be no sorrow

         C         G7          C

That I'd laugh when you walked away

G7

But a little bitty tear let me down

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not to make a frown

      C            G7          C

But a little bitty tear let me down

G7

I said I'd laugh when you left me

Pull of funny as you went out the door

That I'd have another one a waitin'

   C       G7          C

To wave goodbye as you go

G7

But a little bitty tear let me down

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not to make a frown

      C            G7          C

But a little bitty tear let me down

G7

Everything went out like I planned it

I really put on quite a show

I thought that I was gonna stand it

     C          G7              C

But when you've got through the door

G7

Then a little bitty tear let me down

Spoiled my act as a clown

I had it made up not to make a frown

      C            G7          C

But a little bitty tear let me down
