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 leaving the harbour, (run, come, see)
Kepple(?), 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)
Swimming and praying 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.
