Sutter's Mill

In the spring

  • 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
  • Well they came
  • Like herds of locusts
  • Every woman child and man
  • In their lumbering conestogas
  • Left their tracks
  • Upon the land
  • Some would fail
  • And some would prosper
  • Some would die
  • And some would kill
  • Some would thank
  • The lord for their deliverance
  • 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 some would fail
  • And some would prosper
  • Some would die
  • And some would kill
  • Some would thank
  • The lord for their deliverance
  • Some would curse
  • John sutter's mill
  • Some pushed on to California
  • Others stopped to take their rest
  • By the spring of eighteen sixty
  • They had opened up the west
  • 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 some would fail
  • And some would prosper
  • Some would die
  • And some would kill
  • Some would thank
  • The lord for their deliverance
  • Some would curse
  • John sutter's mill
  • Some would curse
  • John sutter's mill
  • Some men's thirsts
  • Are never filled
