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 will help you some sunny day" |
|
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast |
|
Troubles will come and they will pass |
|
You'll find a woman and you'll find love |
|
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above" |
|
"And be a simple kind of man |
|
Oh, 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 |
|
Oh, 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" |
|
"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 |
|
Oh, 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, really simple man |
|
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can |
