《Sutter’s Mill》歌词

[00:00:00] Sutter's Mill (萨特的磨坊) - Deja Vu (似曾相识)

[00:00:30] In the spring

[00:00:33] Of forty seven

[00:00:37] So the story it is told

[00:00:44] Old John Sutter

[00:00:47] Went to the mill site

[00:00:51] Found a piece

[00:00:54] Of shining gold

[00:00:59] Well he took it

[00:01:02] To the city

[00:01:06] Where the word

[00:01:09] Like wildfire spread

[00:01:13] And old John Sutter

[00:01:16] Soon came to wish he'd

[00:01:20] Left that stone

[00:01:24] In the river bed

[00:01:28] Well they came

[00:01:31] Like herds of locusts

[00:01:35] Every woman child and man

[00:01:42] In their lumbering conestogas

[00:01:50] Left their tracks

[00:01:53] Upon the land

[00:01:57] Some would fail

[00:02:00] And some would prosper

[00:02:04] Some would die

[00:02:07] And some would kill

[00:02:11] Some would thank

[00:02:14] The lord for their deliverance

[00:02:18] Some would curse

[00:02:22] John Sutter's mill

[00:02:26] Well they came

[00:02:29] From New York city

[00:02:33] And they came

[00:02:37] From Alabam

[00:02:40] With their dreams

[00:02:44] Of finding fortunes

[00:02:48] In this wild

[00:02:51] Unsettled land

[00:02:55] Well some fell prey

[00:02:58] To hostile arrows

[00:03:02] As they tried

[00:03:05] To cross the plains

[00:03:09] And some were lost in the rocky mountains

[00:03:17] With their hands froze to the reins

[00:03:24] Oh some would fail

[00:03:27] And some would prosper

[00:03:31] Some would die

[00:03:34] And some would kill

[00:03:39] Some would thank

[00:03:41] The lord for their deliverance

[00:03:46] Some would curse

[00:03:49] John Sutter's mill

[00:04:22] Some pushed on to California

[00:04:29] Others stopped to take their rest

[00:04:37] By the spring of eighteen sixty

[00:04:44] They had opened up the west

[00:04:51] Then the railroad

[00:04:55] Came behind them

[00:04:59] And the land

[00:05:02] Was plowed and tamed

[00:05:06] When old John Sutter

[00:05:09] Went to meet his maker

[00:05:13] He'd not one penny

[00:05:17] To his name

[00:05:20] Oh some would fail

[00:05:23] And some would prosper

[00:05:28] Some would die

[00:05:31] And some would kill

[00:05:35] Some would thank

[00:05:37] The lord for their deliverance

[00:05:42] Some would curse

[00:05:45] John Sutter's mill

[00:05:49] Some would curse

[00:05:53] John Sutter's mill

[00:05:57] Some men's thirsts

[00:06:00] Are never filled
