When she's on her best behaiviour 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 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 I'll admit I was unfaithful But from now I'll be more faithful Never turn your back on mother Never turn your back on mother Never turn your back on mother earth
