Lead Belly
He Never Said a Mumblin’ Word
Well, they whupped him up the hill
They whupped him up the hill
They whupped him up the hill for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
And he never said a mumblin’ word
He never said a mumblin’ word
He never said a mumblin’ word for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
And they speared him in the side
And they speared him in the side
And they speared him in the side for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They speared him in the side for me
And he never said a mumblin’ word
He never said a mumblin’ word
He never said a mumblin’ word for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
Never said a mumblin’ word for me
They crowned his head with thorns
They crowned his head with thorns
They crowned his head with thorns for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
He’s coming back again
He’s coming back again
He’s coming back again for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He’s coming back again for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He’s coming back again for me
He’s coming back again for me
