Alfred Packer went into the mountains

with his mining team

They were looking for gold in the mountains

to be rich and happy

They were lost while it snowed in the mountains

then met an Indian chief

The chief said there’s death in the mountains

go back or death you’ll meet

Alfred said there’s gold in the mountains

convinced his mining team

They were starving walking in the mountains

with little food to eat

In a trapper’s hut high in the mountains

their last meal they would eat

When the men fell asleep in the mountains

Alfred killed his mining team

Alfred searched the men in the mountains

and took all their money

Alfred sat and stared in the mountains

at his dead mining team

He cut up the men in the mountains

for some food to eat

Found a town walking back from the mountains

and went to take a peek

Left the meat in the snow in the mountains

then off to town was he

Went to jail for his deeds in the mountains

and was finally released
