Sutter's Mill[00:00:01]

Songer:Dan Fogelberg[00:00:04]

In the spring of forty-seven'[00:00:29]

So the story' it is told'[00:00:36]

Old john sutter went to the mill site[00:00:43]

Found a piece of shining gold [00:00:50]

Well' he took it to the city[00:00:58]

Where the word' like wildfire' spread [00:01:05]

And old john sutter soon came to wish he'd[00:01:12]

Left that stone in the river bed [00:01:19]

For they came like herds of locusts[00:01:26]

Every woman' child and man[00:01:33]

In their lumbering conestogas[00:01:41]

They left their tracks upon the land [00:01:48]

Some would fail and some would prosper[00:01:55]

Some would die and some would kill[00:02:02]

Some would thank the lord for their deliverance[00:02:09]

And some would curse john sutter's mill [00:02:16]

Well' they came from new york city'[00:02:24]

And they came from alabam'[00:02:31]

With their dreams of finding fortunes[00:02:38]

In this wild unsettled land [00:02:45]

Well' some fell prey to hostile arrows[00:02:52]

As they tried to cross the plains [00:02:59]

And some were lost in the rocky mountains[00:03:07]

With their hands froze to the reins [00:03:14]

Oh [00:03:21]

Some would fail and some would prosper[00:03:21]

Some would die and some would kill[00:03:28]

Some would thank the lord for their deliverance[00:03:35]

And some would curse john sutter's mill [00:03:42]

Well' some pushed on to california[00:04:18]

And others stopped to take their rest [00:04:25]

And by the spring of eighteen-sixty[00:04:32]

They had opened up the west [00:04:40]

And then the railroad came behind them[00:04:47]

And the land was plowed and tamed'[00:04:54]

When old john sutter went to meet his maker'[00:05:01]

He'd not one penny to his name [00:05:08]

Oh [00:05:15]

Some would fail and some would prosper[00:05:15]

Some would die and some would kill[00:05:22]

Some would thank the lord for their deliverance[00:05:29]

And some would curse john sutter's mill [00:05:36]

And some would curse john sutter's mill[00:05:43]

Some men's thirsts are never filled[00:05:56]
