Sutter's Mill (萨特的磨坊) - Deja Vu (似曾相识)[00:00:00]
In the spring[00:00:30]
Of forty seven[00:00:33]
So the story it is told[00:00:37]
Old John Sutter[00:00:44]
Went to the mill site[00:00:47]
Found a piece[00:00:51]
Of shining gold[00:00:54]
Well he took it[00:00:59]
To the city[00:01:02]
Where the word[00:01:06]
Like wildfire spread[00:01:09]
And old John Sutter[00:01:13]
Soon came to wish he'd[00:01:16]
Left that stone[00:01:20]
In the river bed[00:01:24]
Well they came[00:01:28]
Like herds of locusts[00:01:31]
Every woman child and man[00:01:35]
In their lumbering conestogas[00:01:42]
Left their tracks[00:01:50]
Upon the land[00:01:53]
Some would fail[00:01:57]
And some would prosper[00:02:00]
Some would die[00:02:04]
And some would kill[00:02:07]
Some would thank[00:02:11]
The lord for their deliverance[00:02:14]
Some would curse[00:02:18]
John Sutter's mill[00:02:22]
Well they came[00:02:26]
From New York city[00:02:29]
And they came[00:02:33]
From Alabam[00:02:37]
With their dreams[00:02:40]
Of finding fortunes[00:02:44]
In this wild[00:02:48]
Unsettled land[00:02:51]
Well some fell prey[00:02:55]
To hostile arrows[00:02:58]
As they tried[00:03:02]
To cross the plains[00:03:05]
And some were lost in the rocky mountains[00:03:09]
With their hands froze to the reins[00:03:17]
Oh some would fail[00:03:24]
And some would prosper[00:03:27]
Some would die[00:03:31]
And some would kill[00:03:34]
Some would thank[00:03:39]
The lord for their deliverance[00:03:41]
Some would curse[00:03:46]
John Sutter's mill[00:03:49]
Some pushed on to California[00:04:22]
Others stopped to take their rest[00:04:29]
By the spring of eighteen sixty[00:04:37]
They had opened up the west[00:04:44]
Then the railroad[00:04:51]
Came behind them[00:04:55]
And the land[00:04:59]
Was plowed and tamed[00:05:02]
When old John Sutter[00:05:06]
Went to meet his maker[00:05:09]
He'd not one penny[00:05:13]
To his name[00:05:17]
Oh some would fail[00:05:20]
And some would prosper[00:05:23]
Some would die[00:05:28]
And some would kill[00:05:31]
Some would thank[00:05:35]
The lord for their deliverance[00:05:37]
Some would curse[00:05:42]
John Sutter's mill[00:05:45]
Some would curse[00:05:49]
John Sutter's mill[00:05:53]
Some men's thirsts[00:05:57]
Are never filled[00:06:00]
