Simple Man lyrics

Mama told me when I was young

Sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

Oh, if you do this, it will help you some sunny day

Boy, 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

Be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this, 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

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?

Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself

Follow your heart, nothing else

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

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?

And be a simple kind of man

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Won't you do this, if you can?

And be a simple kind of man

And be something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man
