I got a letter in the mail just the other day Opened it up, this is what it had to say: "wouldn't you please give us the pleasure Of having you at our table tonite? From, the donner family" We've been hungry for such a long time And we've eaten our dogs and rawhide We've got half of our family on ice They would not want the rest of us to die They would not want the rest of us to die
They don't care They would not have us starve to death We're so cold We're freezing and there's nothing left They don't care I'm sure that they wouldn't mind It's so bad Half of us are snow blind
It's too late now, we can never go back We can make up for the protein we lack Four days of no food have left us all weak I feel like i can't stand on my own two feet My own two feet, my own two feet
We've been waiting for such a long time For some word of help or some sign That someone's coming to our rescue Until then, we'll do what we have to Until then, we'll do what we have to
They don't care They would not have us die this way It's like this We have to find some food today They don't care They knew what we were going through They don't care This is what it's come to
We never felt like we could really do it Now we’re just thankful we all lived through it We ate those people because we were hungry Yeah, we're survivors of the donner family The donner family
We've been hungry for such a long, long time And we've eaten our dogs and rawhide We've got half of our family on ice They would not want the rest of us to die They would not want the rest of us to die
They don't care They would not have us starve to death We're so cold We're freezing and there's nothing left They don't care I'm sure that they wouldn't mind It's so bad Half of us are snow blind
