Lead Belly - He Never Said a Mumbling Word lyrics

Spoken: Want to see me get happy? Now, just listen to this, just don't tell This is a Spiritual, too, tell a story about Christ, which I guess is happy-you Would not know it, but you don't know that old feelin' I gets from down South Think about my mother shoutin', uh. Holy rollers is singin' this now-it's thei' Rhythm, thei' swing, and the way they sing On a-Easter Sunday he rose, on a-Easter Sunday he rose On a-Easter Sunday he rose for me One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross On a-Easter Sunday he rose for me 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 whipped him up the hill for me They speared him in the side, they speared him in the side 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 The blood come streamin' down, the blood come streamin' down The blood come streamin' down for me One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross The blood come streamin' down for me He hung his head and died, he hung his head and died He hung his head and died for me One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross He hung his head and died for me He never said a mumbling word, he never said a mumbling word He never said a mumbling word for me One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross He never said a mumbling word for me He's comin' back again, he's comin' back again He's comin' back again for me One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross He's comin' back again for me Spoken: Yes, he is, coming back for me. Yeah, what you call a spiritual-you get shoutin' you get happy
