When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp and strawsthat don't wand grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth

I'll admit I was unfaithfull
But from now on I'll be more faithfull
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth
