  Sutter's Mill-Dan Fogelberg

  Songer:Dan Fogelberg

  In the spring of forty-seven,

  So the story, it is told,

  Old john sutter went to the mill site

  Found a piece of shining gold.

  Well, he took it to the city

  Where the word, like wildfire, spread.

  And old john sutter soon came to wish he'd

  Left that stone in the river bed.

  For they came like herds of locusts

  Every woman, child and man

  In their lumbering conestogas

  They left their tracks upon the land.

  (chorus)

  Some would fail and some would prosper

  Some would die and some would kill

  Some would thank the lord for their deliverance

  And some would curse john sutter's mill.

  Well, they came from new york city,

  And they came from alabam'

  With their dreams of finding fortunes

  In this wild unsettled land.

  Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows

  As they tried to cross the plains.

  And some were lost in the rocky mountains

  With their hands froze to the reins.

  Oh...

  (chorus)

  Some would fail and some would prosper

  Some would die and some would kill

  Some would thank the lord for their deliverance

  And some would curse john sutter's mill.

  Well, some pushed on to california

  And others stopped to take their rest.

  And by the spring of eighteen-sixty

  They had opened up the west.

  And then the railroad came behind them

  And the land was plowed and tamed,

  When old john sutter went to meet his maker,

  He'd not one penny to his name.

  Oh...

  (chorus)

  Some would fail and some would prosper

  Some would die and some would kill

  Some would thank the lord for their deliverance

  And some

  And some would curse john sutter's mill

  Some men's thirsts are never filled.
