Sutter's Mill (Karaoke Version)

Sutter's Mill(Tribute version originally performed by Dan Fogelberg) - Various Artists

Composed by：Dan Fogelberg

Some would fail and some would prosper

Some would die and some would kill

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

And 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

Some would fail and some would prosper

Some would die and some would kill

Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

And 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

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill

Some men's thirsts are never filled
