A different song, but this is as good a place to post it as any.


SUTTER’S MILL
(John Dawson)
As recorded by the New Riders of the Purple Sage on “Gypsy Cowboy” (1972)

Going down to Sutter’s Mill, pan a little gold.
I’m going down to Sutter’s Mill and stay till I get old.

Going down to Sutter’s Mill; they got gold down there.
I’m going down to Sutter’s Mill, going to get my share.

Now the people they been comin’ down from all across the land,
They say you can find it anywhere; it’s lyin’ on the ground.

Going down to Sutter’s Mill; gonna sing my song.
I’m going down to Sutter’s Mill; would you like to come along?

Would you like come along? Would you like to come along?
I’m going down to Sutter’s Mill; would you like to come along?
