Simple Man (Acoustic Version)

Well, mama told me

When I was young

Said, 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

Ah yeah it will

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 that there is a someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

And be a something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can

Then you can

Forget your lust

From the rich man's gold

All that you need now

Is in your soul

And you can do this, oh baby

If you try

All that I want from you, my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man

And be a something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can

If you can

Oh, 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 from you, my son, is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man

And be a something you love and understand

Baby, be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can

So baby, be a simple, be a simple man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
