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
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
