Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone (02-10-31) - Ethel Waters

Years we’ve been together

Seems we cant get along,

No matter what I do

I don’t appeal to you

Makes no difference whether

I am right or wrong

If we cant be sweethearts

This much you can do

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone

Oh, Honey, though our friendship ceases from now on

And listen, if you cant say anything real nice

Its better not to talk at all, that’s my advice

Were parting, you go your way, I’ll go mine

Its best that we do

Here’s a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

Makes no difference how I carry on

Just remember

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone.
