When Malindy Sings - Oscar Brown Jr.
Written by：Oscar Brown/Jr.
Hey ho hey hey ho hey ho hey ho hey
G'way an quit dat noise Miss Lucy
Put dat music book away
What's de use to keep on tryin'
If you practise twell you're gray
You cain't stat no notes a flyin'
Lak' de ones dat rants and rings
F'om de kitchen to de big woods
When malindy sings
Easy 'nough fu folks to Holland
Lookin' at de lines an dots
When dey ain't no one kin sence it
An de chune comes in in spots
But fu real malojous music
Dat jes strikes yo hea't and clings
Jes you stan an listen wif me
When malindy sings
Oh hit's sweetah dan de music
Of an edicated band
An hit's dearah dan de battle's
Song o triumph in de lan'
It seems holier dan evenin'
When de solemn chuch bell rings
Ez I sit an camly listen
While malindy sings
Towsah stop dat ba'kin' hyeah me
Mandy mek dat chile keep still
Can't you hyeah de echoes callin'
F'om de valley to de hill
Let me listen I can hyeah it
Th oo de bresh of angel's wings
Sof' an' sweet swing low
Sweet chariot
When malindy sings
Sof' an' sweet swing low
Sweet chariot
When malindy sings
Hey ho hey hey ho hey ho hey ho hey ho hey ho hey
