Title: Simple Man

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

Go 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 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 '
