Text

They crucified my Lord
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word.
They crucified my Lord
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word.
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

They nailed Him to a tree
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word.
They nailed Him to a tree
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word.
Not a mumbl’in’ word,Not a mumbl’in’ word, Not a mumbl’in’ word.

They pierced him in the side,
They pierced him in the side
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word.
They pierced him in the side
And He never said a mumbl’in’ word,
Not a word, not a word, not a word.

He bowed His head and died
And never said a mumbl’in’ word,
He bowed His head and died
And never said a mumbl’in’ word,
Not a word, not a word, not a word,
And never said a mumbl’in’ word.
