Through the golds ofthe maples

and the green ofthe pines
Up to Tunnel 13 the

Southern she climbs

And three bandits waiting

with evil in mind
The D'Autremont brothers

had chosen their road

Chosen to live by

a criminal code
Chosen to live by

a criminal code
INSTRUMENTAL
Gold there was none,

only sadness and tears

And the law coming after

them year after year
Three bandits, hearts filled

with resentment and hate

Killed mail clerk Elvyn Daugherty,

engineer Sydney Bates
With shotgun and pistols

they were panicking when

They killed brakeman 00er Johnson

and fireman Marvin Seng
Robbing and looting is

as old as the hills

TheyTe still jumping freight

trains with crowbars and drills
in the dogwoods and pines

Leaving widows and children

and heartbreak behind
Tunnel 13 is the
place in the song

Where the beautiful redwood

for my guitar came from
