Tell them about me, tell them everything
Ohh, after I'm gone, after I'm goneMake it exciting, let all know I was fun
And tell a story like a beautiful dream
Ohh, the dress I wore was a fine silk crepe creamAnd, ohh
Remember me
And, ohh
Remember me well
All the dancin' in that old Texas barn
Officer was handsome to the ladies he shunned
I sat outside smokin', I was elegant and young
If not for that fine evenin', none of you souls would be aroundAnd, ohh
Remember me
And, ohh
Remember me well
Why, oh, why, them beautiful things
You got the cryin' when a hero sings
When the hero sings
Whatever happens, I'll be back here
After all your tears, after all your tearsTell them about me and tell them everything
Ohh, after I'm gone, after I'm gone
After I'm gone, after I'm gone
