Mama told me when I was young |
|
Come sit beside me, my only son |
|
And listen closely to what I say |
|
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day |
|
Oh, take your time don't live too fast |
|
Troubles will come and they will pass |
|
Go find a woman you'll find love |
|
And don't forget son there is someone up above |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Be something you love and understand |
|
Baby be a simple kind of man |
|
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? |
|
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold |
|
All that you need is in your soul |
|
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try |
|
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Be something you love and understand |
|
Baby be a simple kind of man |
|
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will |
|
Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself |
|
Follow your heart and nothing else |
|
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try |
|
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Be something you love and understand |
|
Baby be a simple kind of man |
|
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? |
|
Baby be a simple, be a simple man |
|
Be something you love and understand |
|
Baby be a simple kind of man |
