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
