Peter's Denial lyrics

(Maid by the fire:)

I think I've seen you somewhere.

I remember,

You were with that man they took away.

I recognize your face.

(Peter:)

You've got the wrong man lady.

I don't know him,

And I wasn't where he was tonight

Never near the place.

(Soldier:)

That's strange, for I am sure I saw you with with him.

You were right by his side, and yet you denied.

(Peter:)

I tell you I was never ever with him.

(Old man:)

But I saw you too. It looked just like you.

(Peter:)

I don't know him!

(Mary Magdalene:)

Peter, don't you know what you have said?

You've gone and cut him dead.

(Peter:)

I had to do it, don't you see?

Or else they'd go for me.

(Mary Magdalene:)

It's what he told us you would do.

I wonder how he knew.
