95. He Never Said a Mumbalin' Word

1 They crucified my Lord,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word;
They crucified my Lord,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word.
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

2 They nailed Him to a tree,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word;
They nailed Him to a tree,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word.
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

3 They pierced Him in the side,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word;
They pierced Him in the side,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word.
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

4 The blood came trickalin’ down,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word;
The blood came trickalin’ down,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word.
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

5 He bowed His head and died,
and He never said a mumbalin’ word;
He hung His head and died,
and He never said a mumbling' word,
Not a word, not a word, not a word.
