Mama told me when I was young
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
ย
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, oh son, if you can?
ย
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this 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
Won't you do this, oh son, if you can?
ย
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh, oh, 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
Won't you do this, oh son, if you can?
Be a simple, be simple man
