Peter's Denial Lyric

by Andrew Lloyd Webber

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 with him.

OLD MAN

But I saw you too.
He 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.
