[00:00:00] When Malindy Sings - Abbey Lincoln

[00:00:23] Written by：Paul Laurence Dunbar/Oscar Brown

[00:00:47] G'way an' quit dat noise miss lucy put dat music book away

[00:00:55] What's de use to keep on tryin'

[00:00:58] If you practise twell you're gray you cain't sta't no notes aflyin'

[00:01:06] Lak de ones dat rants and rings f'om de kitchen to de big woods

[00:01:13] When malindy sings

[00:01:16] Easy 'nough fu' folks to hollah lookin' at de lines an' dots

[00:01:24] When dey ain't no one kin sence it an' de chune comes in in spots

[00:01:32] But fu' real malojous music dat jes' strikes yo' hea't and clings

[00:01:39] Jes' you stan' an' listen wif me when malindy sings

[00:01:45] Oh hit's sweetah dan de music of an edicated band

[00:01:53] An' hit's dearah dan de battle's song o' triumph in de lan'

[00:02:00] It seems holier dan evenin' when de solemn chu'ch bell rings

[00:02:08] Ez I sit an' ca'mly listen while malindy sings

[00:03:10] Towsah stop dat ba'kin' hyeah me

[00:03:14] Mandy mek dat chile keep still don't you hyeah de echoes callin'

[00:03:21] F'om de valley to de hill

[00:03:25] Let me listen I can hyeah it th'oo de bresh of angel's wings

[00:03:32] Sof' an' sweet

[00:03:34] Swing low sweet chariot when malindy sings
