Rondo
Peter go ring dem bells,
Peter go ring dem bells,
Peter go ring-a-dem bells;
Oh Peter, go ring a dem bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells,
Ring a dem bells:

Peter go ring-a-dem bells, oh Peter go ring -a-dem bells.
Peter go ring-a-dem bells, oh Peter go ring-a dem bells.
Peter go ring dem bells, oh Peter go and ring dem bells
Peter go ring dem bells oh Peter go and ring, dem bells;

Peter go ring a dem bells oh Peter go ring a dem bells
Peter go ring a dem bells today.

Peter go ring a dem bells oh Peter go ring a dem bells.
Peter go ring a dem bells I heard from heaven today.

Wonder where my mother has gone,
Wonder where my mother has gone,
Wonder where my mother has gone,
Heard from heaven today;

Wonder where my mother has gone
Wonder where my mother has gone
Wonder where my mother has gone
Heard from heaven today;

Peter ring dem bells, Peter ring dem bells
Peter ring dem bells ring a dem bells

Peter ring dem bells Peter ring dem bells
Peter ring dem bells, ring a dem bells

Bells, bells, bells, bells,
Ring- a dem, ring -a dem bells.
