There is also a CD out entitled "The Butterfly Tree". Baez is on it, too. Possibly what you're looking for is on that CD.

PRINCE (a.k.a., A.F.K.A...)
        
        "Save the Redwood Trees" (Song formerly known as "Litte Red Corvette")
      (Click here to start music) Dedicated to David Nathan "Gypsy" Chain,
        Julie Butterfly and Luna, Kaiser Aluminum Steelworkers and YOU! for putting Earth First!
        Click here for summary and photos of Julia's tree-sit by Shaun Walker.


Pacific Lumber got in trouble
When Maxxam bought it out
Behind the company's back
Using billions in junk-bonds
Now they're asking multi-millions
And an additional break in tax

Well, the public ain't that dumb
We're tired of corporate welfare
Taxes and workers abused
So now it's time 2 unite
Behind environmental rights
And the unions who stand 2 lose
It's not 2 late 2

        Save the redwood trees
        Hurry, we've gotta act fast
        Save the redwood trees
        We need 2 take the forest back

Did Gypsy have 2 lose his life
Forcing them 2 finally stop
Logging illegally?
While Julia Butterfly
Sits 200 feet up high
Standing up 4 her favorite tree?
Is it worth it or not
2 publicize this plight
As the ultimate lunacy?
Yeah, it's time 2 unite
Behind environmental rights
And the workers who've joined the fight
We'll find a way 2

        Save the redwood trees
        Hurry, we've got 2 act fast
        Save the redwood trees
        We gotta take the forest back

                Somebody like Hurwitz
                Ought to be in jail
                For being a scourge to society
                But we'll forgive U, baby, just give back the trees
                (Or what's left of Pacific Lumber Company)                

        Save the redwood trees
        Hurry, we've got 2 act fast
        Save the redwood trees
        We gotta take the forest back

        Save the redwood trees
        Maxxam has got 2 shut down
        Save the redwood trees
        Cuz if they don't they're gonna cut
        The forest right 2 the ground
        Right 2 the ground
        Right 2 the ground
