Lyrics
It was Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine
Run, come, see, run, come, see (I remember that day pretty well)
Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Nine
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, they were talkin’ ‘bout a storm in the island
Run, come, see, run, come, see (My God, what a beautiful morning)
They were talkin’ ‘bout a storm in the island
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, there were three sails leaving from the harbor
Run, come, see, run, come, see (With the mothers and children on board)
The were bound for the island of Andros
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, they were the Ethel and the Myrtle and the Pretoria
Run, come, see, run, come, see (And the Myrtle was bound for French Creek)
The Ethel was bound for Spanish Creek
Run, come see Jerusalem.

My God, the Pretoria was alone on the ocean
Run, come, see, run, come, see (Dashing from side to side in the waves
The Pretoria was alone on the ocean
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, then a big sea built up on the starboard
Run, come, see, run, come, see (My God, what wind and waves)
Well a big sea built up on the starboard
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, then the first sea hit the Pretoria
Run, come, see, run, come, see (And the children came a-grabbing for their mothers)
The first sea hit the Pretoria
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, well it sent her head down to the bottom
Run, come, see, run, come, see (And the captain came a-runnin’ for the tiller)
It sent her head down to the bottom
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, there were thirty-three souls on the water
Run, come, see, run, come, see (Swimming and praying to their Daniel, God)
Thirty-three souls on the water
Run, come, see Jerusalem.

My God, now George Brown, he was the captain
Run, come, see, run, come, see (“My God,” he shouts, “Now children, come pray)
Come and witness your judgment”
Run, come, see Jerusalem.
