lyrics
Oh Peter. Oh Peter so young and so brave.
The poorest of poor and the youngest in age.
Your mother and father were taken away.
But they are still near and they dance on their grave.
Oh son. Oh son, I’m so afraid.
No sight in my eyes. No feel in my legs.
But I do believe that I will be saved.
A new pair of legs to dance on my grave.
Oh lord. Oh lord is there somebody there?
The notion of heaven and hell seems unfair.
Take care of my dad. In you he has faith.
If all is just he will dance on his grave.
Oh father. Oh father, I hope you’re correct.
I hope that you’re right that I’ll see you again.
That there is a paradise for all us awaits.
And I will join you as we dance on our grave.
