When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day

I said there'd be no sorrow I'd laugh when you 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



I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door

And I'd have another one a waitin' to wave goodbye as you go

But a little bitty tear let me down...

[ dobro ]

Everything went out like I planned it and I really put on quite a show

And I thought I could stand it until you got through the door

But a little bitty tear let me down...

A little bitty tear let me down
