Sierra Song

The 49ers came, the 49ers went.

They found enough gold to more than pay the rent.

UP arrived to pack the nation's mail.

Heralding an era of American rail.

Some came seeking the "Angle of Repose."

Some won, some lost. That's how it goes.

With slats they came to "Valley of the Squaw."

After Oly more came from near and far.

Now is Mwah (sic) here on the Duc.

I'll find some gold, with a bit of luck.
