Run, Come, See Jerusalem

MP3

It was in nineteen hundred and sixty nine, (Run come see, run come see)
I remember that day pretty well
It was in nineteen hundred and sixty nine
Run come see, Jerusalem.

That day they was talkin' 'bout a fire on the island, (Run come see, run come see)
My God what a beautiful morning
They was talkin' 'bout a fire on the island,
Run come see, Jerusalem.

That day there was three trucks leavin' out the station (Run come see, run come see)
Their lights and siren's a runnin'
There was three trucks leavin' out the station
Run come see, Jerusalem.

They was bound for the island of Galveston (Run come see, run come see)
My God what a beautiful morning
They was bound for the island of Galveston
Run come see, Jerusalem.

Ladder 31 was first on location (Run come see, run come see)
And four men ran into the building
Ladder 31 was first on location
Run come see, Jerusalem.

Right then it was a big heat built up in the second floor (Run come see, run come see)
They wish they'd never opened up that door
It was a big heat built up in the second floor
Run come see, Jerusalem.

My God, when the backdraft hit the men of 31 (Run come see, run come see)
And the firemen go downward for the bottom
When the backdraft hit the men of 31
Run come see, Jerusalem.

Now George Brown he was the captain (Run come see, run come see)
He shouts "Now men come and pray"
George Brown he was the captain
Run come see, Jerusalem.

He says, "Come now, witness your judgment" (Run come see, run come see)
The men all cryin' like babies
"Come now, witness your judgment"
Run come see, Jerusalem.

There were thirteen souls in the fire (Run come see, run come see)
My God it was a beautiful morning
There were thirteen souls in the fire
Run come see, Jerusalem.
