Up today, we couldn’t find the lyrics, we think that is about environment, but no matter what it talks about it’s a great song. If anyone can obtain them, please post them as comments
you can hear it live in youtube here

Sorry, but first of all, this one is not with The Animals but with the Band WAR. Maybe you know their song "Lowrider"? And "Mother Earth" deals with the fact that, whatever you may do in your lifetime, may you be rich or poor, good or bad, you have to go back to mother earth when you die. It means that we are all equal in the face of Death!
thank you very much! We also have learned that the original was a song in fifties by Memphis Slim (1959)
Very useful piece of writing, much thanks for your post.
Mother Earth is waitin’ for you, yes she is. She is big and she’s round, And it’s cold way down in the ground.
You may not be happy all the time, You may never be that way, Mother Earth is waitin’ for you, For that debt you’ve got to pay.
Don’t care how big you are, I don’t care what you were, When it all is up, You’ve got to go back to Mother Earth.
You could be blasé with life, Only make love to foreign girls,
You may have a little jet, baby, And fly all around the world,
Don’t care how big you are, I don’t care what you were, When it all is up, You’ve got to go back to Mother Earth.
She is waitin’ for you. Yea.
When it all is up, You got to go back, Way back to Mother Earth, yes.
I feel so bad, oh, all I can do is sing these blues, yea. When it all is up, You’ve got to go back to Mother Earth. Oh baby you hear what I say?
