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

 In the  of Forty-seven,
  the story, it is told,
 Old John Sutter went to  mill site
  a piece of shining gold.
 
  he took it to the city
 Where the word, like wildfire, 
 And old John Sutter soon came  wish he'd
 Left that  in the river bed.
 
 For they  like herds of locusts
  woman, child and man
  their lumbering Conestogas
  left their tracks upon the land.
 
 Some would  and some would prosper
 Some would die and some would 
 Some  thank the Lord for their deliverance
 And some  curse John Sutter's Mill.
 
  they came from New York City,
 And they came  Alabam'
 With  dreams of finding fortunes
  this wild unsettled land.
 
 Well, some fell prey  hostile arrows
 As they  to cross the plains.
 And some were lost in the Rocky 
 With  hands froze to the reins.
 
 Some would fail and some would 
 Some would die and  would kill
 Some would thank the Lord  their deliverance
  some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
 
 Well, some pushed on  California
 And others stopped to take their 
 And by the Spring of 
 They had opened  the west.
 
 And then the railroad came behind 
 And the land was plowed  tamed,
 When Old John Sutter went to  his maker,
 He'd not one  to his name.
 
 Some would  and some would prosper
 Some would die and some would 
 Some would thank the  for their deliverance
 And  would curse John Sutter's Mill.
 
 And some would  John Sutter's Mill
  men's thirsts are never filled.
