When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors Never turn your back on Mother Earth Towns are hurled from A to B
By arms that looked so smooth to me Never turn your back on Mother Earth Grasp at straws that don't want 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 Well, I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now on I'll be more faithful Never turn your back on Mother
Never turn your back on Mother
Never turn your back on Mother Earth
