歌词

[00:36.89] In the spring of forty-seven,
[00:43.89] So the story, it is told,
[00:51.08] Old john sutter went to the mill site
[00:58.24] Found a piece of shining gold.
[01:05.17] Well, he took it to the city
[01:12.45] Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
[01:19.43] And old john sutter soon came to wish he'd
[01:26.67] Left that stone in the river bed.
[01:33.83] For they came like herds of locusts
[01:40.91] Every woman, child and man
[01:48.32] In their lumbering conestogas
[01:55.34] They left their tracks upon the land.
[02:02.59] Some would fail and some would prosper
[02:09.81] Some would die and some would kill
[02:17.11] Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
[02:24.43] And some would curse john sutter's mill.
[02:31.91] Well, they came from new york city,
[02:38.99] And they came from alabam'
[02:46.80] With their dreams of finding fortunes
[02:53.29] In this wild unsettled land.
[03:00.62] Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
[03:08.04] As they tried to cross the plains.
[03:16.01] And some were lost in the rocky mountains
[03:23.15] With their hands froze to the reins.
[03:29.43] Some would fail and some would prosper
[03:37.25] Some would die and some would kill
[03:44.23] Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
[03:51.57] And some would curse john sutter's mill.
[04:30.40] Well, some pushed on to california
[04:36.75] And others stopped to take their rest.
[04:43.91] And by the spring of eighteen-sixty
[04:50.58] They had opened up the west.
[04:58.53] And then the railroad came behind them
[05:06.26] And the land was plowed and tamed,
[05:12.79] When old john sutter went to meet his maker,
[05:21.00] He'd not one penny to his name.
[05:27.31] Some would fail and some would prosper
[05:34.85] Some would die and some would kill
[05:41.96] Some would thank the lord for their deliverance
[05:49.26] And some would curse john sutter's mill.
[05:56.48] And some would curse john sutter's mill
[06:04.19] Some men's thirsts are never filled.
[06:11.52] END
