A LITTLE BITTY TEAR (Hank Cochran) (Artist: Burl Ives)

A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.
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.
A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.
I said I'd laugh when you left me,
Pull a funny as you went out the door,
That I'd have another waiting
And I'd wave goodbye as you go.
A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.
Everything went like a planned it,
And really put on quite a show.
In my heart I felt I could stand it,
Till you walked with your hip through the door.
A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not make a frown,
But a little bitty tear let me down.
A little bitty tear let me down.

AUNT RHODY

Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.

The one she's been saving to make a feather bed.

The old gander's weeping, because his wife is dead.

The goslings are mourning, because their mother's dead.

She died in the mill pond from standing on her head.

Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.

Got this from someone else--didn't check it but it seems OK.

Mary-Ann Regrets

I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I received this short little note
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.

CHORUS:
Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.

The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann

(CHORUS)

My Mary-Ann died, they said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.

(CHORUS)
