Paul Davis, Yvonne Elliman & Annette Brox Lyrics

"Peter's Denial"

[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'm sure I saw you 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:]
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:]
That's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew...
