Gov't Mule - Mother Earth Lyrics
You may high hat me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
That's the debt you got to pay
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may own half a city
Diamonds and pearls
You may have your own airplane
You may fly all over this world
Don't give a damn what you 're worth
You got to go back to Mother Earth
Play the horses, baby
You may own the race track
You may have enough money,
To buy anything you lack
Don't care how great you are
Don't give a damn what you 're worth
'Cause when it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth
You may high hat me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is waitin' for you
That's the debt you got to pay
I don't care how great you are
Or what you're worth
When it all comes down
You got to go back to Mother Earth

Gov't Mule Mother Earth Comments
Wow, flipping awesome ....
Who were the 8 pieces of shit who disliked this?
Go listen to your Maroon 5 loop all day on I heart radio..
life is strange. i discovered this tune during some hard times, but jammed with it anyways. life got better then got crummy again. Through it then was Mother Earth. Should have kept this on high rotation.
Ditto Dude. Did you catch the Single "Mule" on this CD? if not, I simply Insist that you go to the Very TOP of this here column to here the 12:58 extended Version of this 5 min tune called Simply Mule. The Improv is IMPEACKABLE. Much more if U liked that!!
Thanx for the extended version of Mule, Tuger. I've had the Gov't Mule disc since '97 or so but never heard that.
Thankx, g mat, Those who have not heard...As you Now Know...Simply Must Experience it. Therefore, My Channel WILL Bust Wide Open Any Day. I Call it : Van Zepa Fudgeing Mule. Would Love to have you along for the Ride. Music You Already Know & Love Re-made W/Sharper Teeth and A Heavier Bass Track. All Extended Versions...…..Tuger.....
FUCK YEAH! The worm does turn in the end!!
Just brilliant whit more than blues.
Terrific job on this number.
Back in the early days I seen them as the opening band that stunned the entire crowd. Needless to say, they Totally blew away the headliners act every time. The Power trio days were truly incredible. Govt Mule has remained one of my top favorite bands of all time. I love real music. Nothing compares to true Live performance.
+Calcutta151 I'm with you 100%. I saw Mule in trio form w/Allen Woody many times, in crowds ranging in size from about 50-70 people to about 10,000 (when they opened for The Black Crowes in '96), and they went places on stage that transcended us in the audience and even themselves. To say that they were magic together is to understate the reality of what they were on stage.I was devastated when Woody died. The man was a symphony on the bass guitar and I spent long chunks of time in some shows just listening to where he went in the context of a song, which was often FAR.
"I'm only trying to school ya " >
A 3 piece band can ROCK and ROLL is ROCK and ROLL and will be ROCK and ROLL forever,
That is all today class.
John, we've done two Mule songs in our sets and are adding this one for Feb. 21/22nd gigs. Funny thing, the Northside of Chicago gives us the golf clap when we do stuff like this and yet the Southside loses their minds when you do something like Whippin' post (they get it...and appreciate it.) I'm hoping they like it. Warren Haynes is amazing. After Woody died, I don't think they ever found a suitable replacement. I don't think IMO Andy Hess ever got into that Mule groove.
awesome album, played the shit out of It & still love It.
Dig the flag wrapped mule, reminds me of some other jackasses.
From what I understand this whole album was recorded live, as you what you hear was what was recorded on the spot!!, little or no mixing, see them live many times , just like SRV live, you always felt like a train hit you when you left there show !!!!!!
My favorite of all Gov't Mule songs. Met him at an Allmans show backstage and told him this was the album of the year when it came out (in my book). He loved the compliment. Then we got a pic together. Cool.
