He Never Said A Mumblin' Word
"And He Never Said a Mumblin' Word" (also known as "They Hung Him on a Cross", truncations to as little as Mumblin' Word and sometimes "Crucifixion" or "Easter") is an American spiritual folk song.
The song narrates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, detailing how he was nailed to the cross, "whopped up the hill", stabbed in the side, bowed his head and died, all the while keeping a dignified silence. Like all traditional music, the lyrics vary from version to version but maintain the same story.

Famous quotes containing the word word:
“The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
