It was nineteen hundred and twenty-nine
Run come see, run come see
I remember that day pretty well
It was nineteen hundred and twenty-nine
Run come see Jerusalem
There were three sail leavin' out the harbour
Run come see, run come see
There was the Ethel and the Myrtle and the Pretoria
There were three sail leavin' out the harbour
Run come see Jerusalem
There was the Ethel and the Myrtle and the Pretoria
Run come see, run come see
My God what a beautiful morning
There was the Ethel and the Myrtle and the Pretoria
Run come see Jerusalem
Well the Ethel was bound for Fresh Creek
Run come see, run come see
With the mothers and the children on board
Well the Ethel was bound for Fresh Creek
Run come see Jerusalem
Now the Myrtle was bound for Spanish Creek
Run come see, run come see
My God what a beautiful morning
The Myrtle was bound for Spanish Creek
Run come see Jerusalem
Pretoria was out on the ocean
Run come see, run come see
She was dashin' from side to side
Pretoria was out on the ocean
Run come see Jerusalem
Well a big storm built up in the northwest
Run come see, run come see
The children come holdin' to their mothers
And a big storm built up in the northwest
Run come see Jerusalem
Then the first sea hit the Pretoria
Run come see, run come see
And the mothers came grabbin' for the children
And the first sea hit the Pretoria
Run come see Jerusalem
That sail head down went to the bottom
Run come see, run come see
The skipper came grabbin' for the tiller
That sail head down went to the bottom
Run come see Jerusalem
There was thirty-three souls on the water
Run come see, run come see
Just swimmin' and prayin' to Daniel, God
There was thirty-three souls on the water
Run come see Jerusalem
Now George Brown he was the captain
Run come see, run come see
He shouts, 'My children come pray'
George Brown he was the captain
Run come see Jerusalem
Well come now witness your judgment
Run come see, run come see
He shouts, 'My children come pray'
Well come now witness your judgment
Run come see Jerusalem
