Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone

For years we've been together
Now you're going away
Oh, just before we part dear
There's something I must say

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Oh honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And honey if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice

For the rec, the best is you're going your way
And I'm going my way
I guess the best thing to do
Here's a kiss
I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

Well, it makes no difference how I carry on
Just remember that please don't mention my name, when I'm gone

It's post time, you go your way, I'll go my way
I guess that's the right thing to do
Here's mama's kiss
I hope that this brings all kinda luck to you

Makes no difference how I carry on
Just be kind to my mama, please
Don't say a word about me
Just forget, forget you ever knew me
Promise me, don't talk about me when I'm gone
