应该是Dan Fogelberg唱的Sutter's Mill,歌曲讲的是美国西部淘金史。对照歌词看一下。
In the spring of forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old john sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old john sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.
(chorus)
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.
Oh...(chorus)
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, some pushed on to california
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the spring of eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.
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...(chorus)
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.

You will meet him on a train
You will meet him on a plane
You will meet him on the way to
Somewhere you have never been
You've got to get on board
You've got to spread your wings
You've got to take a chance if you want romance
And fancy things
If you want magic, well
You've got cast a spell
You've got stay up late
You've got make him wait
Magicians never tell
You've got to get on board
You've got to spread your wings
You've got to take a chance if you want romance
And fancy things
And the color said
I'm just poor merchant looking for a way to the sea
Wandering the desert
Looking for somebody who is looking for me
And when you've traveled far enough
You will find yourself in love
And when you lie down in the night
You will sleep under the light
From the stars above
First you've got to get on board
You've got to spread your wings
You've got to take a chance if you want romance
And fancy things
You've got to take a chance if you want romance
And fancy things
You've got to take a chance
If you want romance and fancy things
