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
