"Mimi Song" lyrics

Tell them about me, tell them everything
Ohh, after I'm gone, after I'm gone

Make 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 cream

And, ohh
Remember me
And, ohh
Remember me well

Oh, the dance held in that old Texas barn
Papa Sam was handsome to the ladies he shunned
I sat outside smoking
I was elegant and young
If not for that fine evening
None of you souls would be around

And, ohh
Remember me
And, ohh
Remember me well

You're a wild and beautiful thing
The gods are crying when they hear you sing
When they hear you sing
Whatever happens, I'll be right here
After all your tears, after all your tears

Tell them about me and tell them everything
Ohh, after I'm gone, after I'm gone
After I'm gone, after I'm gone
