Mother Earth Lyrics - Allen Toussaint

You may high five me all the time 

You may never go my way 

Mother Earth is layin' for you 

'Cause there's a debt you've got to pay 

I don't care how rich you are 

I don't care what you're worth 

When it all comes down 

You've got to go back to Mother Earth 

You may own half a city 

Diamonds and pearls 

You may buy an airplane, baby, 

And fly all over this world

I don't care how great you are 

I don't care what you're worth 

When it all comes up 

You've got to go back to Mother Earth 

You may play the racehorses 

You may own a racetrack 

You may have enough money, baby, 

To buy anything you like 

I don't care how great you are 

I don't care what you're worth 

When it all goes up 

You've got to go back to Mother Earth 

You may play the racehorses 

You may own your own track 

You may have enough money 

To buy anything you like

I don't care how great you are 

No, I don't care what you're worth 

When it all comes up 

You've got to go back to Mother Earth
