When you said you were leaving to morrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That 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
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
(Chorus)
