Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" was written by Sam H. Stept with lyrics by Sidney Clare. The original publication also credited singer Bee Palmer as co-composer. The song was published in 1930. The lyrics are an admonishment between parting lovers, where the singer asks the other to either speak nicely of her, or not at all.
