It was in nineteen-hundred and twenty-nine on a day remembered so well
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
my God it was a beautiful morning
Run come see run come see!
That day they were talkin' 'bout a storm on the islands
Run come see Jerusalem!
That day there were three ships leavin' out the harbour
the Ethel the Myrtle and the Pytoria
That day there were three ships leavin' out the harbor
It was the Ethel the Myrtle and the Pytoria on that day remembered so well
It was the Ethel the Myrtle and the Pytoria
They were bound for the island of Androswith mothers and children on board
They were bound for the island of Andros
The Pytoria was out on the ocean swinging from side by side on a wave
The Pytoria was out on the ocean
Right then it was a big sea built up in the northwestmy God it was a beautiful morning
Then a big sea built up in the northwest
My God when the first wave hit the Pytoria mothers were screaming there were children on board
When the first wave hit the Pytoria
My God there were thirty-three souls on the water
singing and praying in the name of the Lord There were thirty-three souls on the water
Now George Brown he was the captain he said "my children come pray"
George Brown he was the captain
He said "Come now witness your judgment he-he oh-oh he-he said
He said "Come now witness your judgment"
There'll be no more waiting on Andros on any September morning
Run come see run come see!
There'll be
No more waiting on Andros
Run come see Jerusalem!
