When Malindy Sings - Abbey Lincoln (艾比·林肯)
Written by：Paul Laurence Dunbar/Oscar Brown
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 sta't no notes aflyin'
Lak de ones dat rants and rings f'om de kitchen to de big woods
When malindy sings
Easy 'nough fu' folks to hollah 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 chu'ch bell rings
Ez I sit an' ca'mly listen while malindy sings
Towsah stop dat ba'kin' hyeah me
Mandy mek dat chile keep still don'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
