I like it    I don't like it

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
