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
