The Brothers Four - Run Come See Jerusalem lyrics

rate me

It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine, Run come see, I remember that day very well, run come see, It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine Run come see, Jerusalem. That day they were talkin' 'Bout a storm in the islands, They were talkin' 'bout a storm in the islands My God what a beautiful morning. That day there were three ships a leavin' out the harbor That day there were three ships a leavin' out the harbor The Ethel, the Myrtle and the Pretoria. These ships were bound for a neighbouring island These ships were bound for a neighbouring island With the mothers and children on board. Now the Pretoria was out on the ocean,2x Rocking from side to side My God, when the first wave hit the Pretoria,2x The mothers come hauling to their children My God, there were thirty-three souls on the water,2x Oh my God there were women praying to the good Lord My God, now George Brown he was the captain He shouted come my children come pray He said, "Come now, witness your judgment day."
