🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Sutter's Mill - Dan Fogelberg

 In the  of Forty-seven,
 So the story, it is 
  John Sutter went to the mill site
 Found  piece of shining gold.
 
 Well, he took it to the 
  the word, like wildfire, spread.
 And old John  soon came to wish he'd
  that stone in the river bed.
 
 For they came  herds of locusts
  woman, child and man
  their lumbering Conestogas
 They left their tracks  the land.
 
 Some would fail and  would prosper
 Some would die and some  kill
 Some  thank the Lord for their deliverance
 And some would curse  Sutter's Mill.
 
 Well,  came from New York City,
 And they came  Alabam'
 With their dreams of  fortunes
 In this  unsettled land.
 
 Well,  fell prey to hostile arrows
 As they tried  cross the plains.
 And some were  in the Rocky Mountains
 With their hands froze to  reins.
 
 Some would fail and some would 
 Some would die and  would kill
 Some would thank the Lord for  deliverance
 And some  curse John Sutter's Mill.
 
 Well, some pushed  to California
 And  stopped to take their rest.
 And by the  of Eighteen-sixty
  had opened up the west.
 
 And then the  came behind them
 And the land  plowed and tamed,
 When Old  Sutter went to meet his maker,
 He'd  one penny to his name.
 
 Some would fail and some  prosper
  would die and some would kill
 Some would  the Lord for their deliverance
  some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
 
 And some would  John Sutter's Mill
 Some men's thirsts  never filled.
