Meter: Irregular Appears in 15 hymnals Tune Title: A MUMBALIN' WORD Lyrics: 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 tricklin' down,
and he never said a mumbalin’ word;
the blood came tricklin' 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 bowed his head and died,
and he never said a mumbalin’ word,
Not a word, not a word, not a word.
