Lyrics

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, yeah
Oh, take your time, don\'t live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You\'ll find a woman, yeah, 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?
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
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, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
