奥斯卡电影《三步杀人曲》中的插曲《sutter's mill》(中文译为《萨特的磨坊》)，是丹弗格伯特顿的一首乡村名谣，略显苍凉的声音唱出了John西部寻宝的一生。到他向他的Maker，即上帝报到的时候，一分钱也不是他的了。（when old john sutter went to meet his maker,he'd not one penny to his name.）正是那句老话，赤条条地来，赤条条地去，生不带来，死不带去，就这样在世上走了一轮。每次听这首歌都有不同的心境！
歌词:
Sutter's Mill
Songer:Dan Fogelberg
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.
(music)
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.
