Run Come See, Jerusalem
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine,
Run come see, run come see,
It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine
Run come see, Jerusalem.
That day they were talkin' 'bout a storm on the islands, (2x)
That day there were three ships leavin' out the harbor
It was the Ethel, the Myrtle and the Pretoria,
They were bound for the island of Andros
The Pretoria was out on the ocean,
Right then it was a big sea built up in the northwest
My God, when the first wave hit the Pretoria
My God, there were thirty-three souls on the water
My God, now George Brown he was the captain
He said, "Come now, witness your judgment"
Threr'll be no maore waiting on Andros.
