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

—Sam H. Stept/Sidney Clare, 1930.

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

B:
We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine, it's best that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Though it makes no difference, how I carry on
Remember, please don't talk about me when I'm gone
