Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young

Sit beside me my only son

And listen closely to what I say

If you do this

It will help you some sunny day

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 it son
There is someone up above
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
Forget your lust 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 and 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
