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
