[00:29.89] In the spring of 47
[00:35.01]
[00:36.88] So the story, it is told
[00:42.26]
[00:44.13] Old John Sutter went to the mill site
[00:49.53]
[00:51.21] Found a piece of shining gold
[00:56.58]
[00:58.39] Well, he took it to the city
[01:03.77]
[01:05.47] Where the word like wildfire spread
[01:10.58]
[01:12.58] And old John Sutter soon came to wish he d
[01:18.50]
[01:19.69] Left that stone in the river bed
[01:24.99]
[01:26.94] For they came like herds of locusts
[01:32.76]
[01:34.13] Every woman, child and man
[01:39.42]
[01:41.29] In their lumberin Conestogas
[01:46.86]
[01:48.35] They left their tracks upon the land
[01:53.71]
[01:55.58] Some would fail and some would prosper
[02:01.13]
[02:02.70] Some would die and some would kill
[02:07.99]
[02:09.92] Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
[02:16.05]
[02:17.10] And some would curse John Sutter s Mill
[02:22.22]
[02:24.47] Well, they came from New York City
[02:29.70]
[02:31.64] And they came from Alabama
[02:36.70]
[02:38.81] With their dreams of findin fortunes
[02:44.49]
[02:46.06] In this wild unsettled land
[02:51.05]
[02:53.18] Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
[02:58.48]
[03:00.35] As they tried to cross the plains
[03:05.47]
[03:07.40] And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
[03:13.20]
[03:14.70] With their hands froze to the reins
[03:19.69]
[03:21.44] Oh, some would fail and some would prosper
[03:27.42]
[03:28.93] Some would die and some would kill
[03:34.05]
[03:36.11] Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
[03:41.79]
[03:43.28] And some would curse John Sutter s Mill
[03:48.34]
[04:18.98] Well, some pushed on to California
[04:24.31]
[04:26.19] And others stopped to take their rest
[04:31.19]
[04:33.06] And by the Spring of 1860
[04:38.48]
[04:40.54] They had opened up the West
[04:45.47]
[04:47.35] And then the railroad came behind them
[04:52.90]
[04:54.64] And the land was plowed and tamed
[04:59.69]
[05:01.63] When old John Sutter went to meet his maker
[05:06.74]
[05:08.87] He d not one penny to his name
[05:13.86]
[05:15.55] Oh, some would fail and some would prosper
[05:21.47]
[05:22.98] Some would die and some would kill
[05:28.09]
[05:30.03] Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
[05:36.26]
[05:37.27] And some would curse John Sutter s Mill
[05:42.26]
[05:44.37] And some would curse John Sutter s Mill
[05:49.31]
[05:51.55] Some men s thirsts are never filled
