Run, Come See

It was nineteen hundred and twenty-nine (Run, come see);
I remember the day pretty well;
Nineteen hundred and twenty-nine;
Run, come see Jerusalem.

There was talk about a storm in the island (Run, come see);
My God, what a beautiful morning;
Talk about a storm in the island;
Run, come see Jerusalem.

There were three ships leavin' the harbour (Run, come see);
The Ethel, Myrtle, and Pretoria;
Three ships leaving the harbour;
Run, come see Jerusalem.

Pretoria was out on the ocean (Run, come see);
She was rocking from side to side;
Pretoria was out on the ocean;
Run, come see Jerusalem,
Run, come see Jerusalem.

When the first wave hit the Pretoria (Run, come see),
The mothers were hanging on to their children;
First wave hit the Pretoria;
Run, come see Jerusalem.

There were thirty-three souls in the water (Run, come see),
Swimmin' and prayin' to the good Lord God;
Thirty-three souls in the water;
Run, come see Jerusalem,
Run, come see Jerusalem.

It was nineteen hundred and twenty-nine (Run, come, see);
I remember the day pretty well;
Nineteen hundred and twenty-nine;
Run, come see Jerusalem.

I said, run, come see Jerusalem;
My God, run, come see Jerusalem.
