AN' HE NEVER SAID A MUMBERLIN’ WORD	MO THIARNA CÉASTA TÁ

Wasn’t it a pity an’ a shame!	Mo Thiarna céasta tá
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word.	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Wasn’t it a pity an’ a shame!	Mo Thiarna céasta tá
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word,	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Oh not a word, not a word, not a word.	Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

Dey nailed Him to de tree!	Cheanglaíodar é de chrann
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word!	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Dey nailed Him to de tree!	Cheanglaíodar é de chrann
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word!	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Oh not a word, not a word, not a word.	Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

Dey pierced Him in de side,	Do tholl siad a thaobh geal
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word!	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Dey pierced Him in de side,	Do tholl siad a thaobh geal
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word!	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Oh not a word, not a word, not a word.	Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

De blood came a –twink-a-lin’ down!	An fhuil ag sileadh síos
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word,	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
De blood came a-twink-a-lin’ down!	An fhuil ag sileadh síos
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word,	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Oh, not a word, not a word, not a word!	Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

He bowed His head an’ died!	Do chrom a cheann is d’éag
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word,	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
He bowed His head an’ died!	Do chrom a cheann is d’éag
An’ He never said a mumberlin’ word,	Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Oh, not a word, not a word, not a word!	Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith
