It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine,
Run come see, run come see.
I remember that day very well.
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
That day they were talkin' 'bout a storm on the islands,
Run come see, run come see.
My God, it was a beautiful mornin'.
They were talking ‘bout a storm on the islands.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
That day there were three ships leavin' out the harbor
Run come see, run come see.
It was the Ethel, the Myrtle and the Pretoria.
There were three ships leavin' out the harbor
Run come see, Jerusalem.
These ships were bound for a neighboring island,
Run come see, run come see.
With mothers and children on board.
These ships were bound for a neighboring island.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
Now when the Pretoria was out on the ocean,
Run come see, run come see.
Rocking from side to side.
Yes, the Pretoria was out on the ocean.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
My God, when the first wave hit the Pretoria,
Run come see, run come see.
The mothers grabbin hold unto children, by God!
When the first wave hit the Pretoria.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
My God, there were thirty-three souls in the water,
Oh, my God!
Run come see, run come see.
They were swimming and praying to the good Lord God.
There were thirty-three souls in the water.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
My God, now George Brown he was the captain,
Run come see, run come see.
He shouted, “My children, come pray!”
“Yes”, he said, "Come now, witness your judgment"
Run come see, Jerusalem.
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine,
Run come see, run come see.
I remember that day very well.
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
Run come see, Jerusalem.
