Well Mama told me when I was young
said sit beside me my only son
listen closely to what I say
and if you do this it will help you some sunny day
take your time, don’t live to fast,
troubles will come and they will pass.
You’ll find a women and you’ll find love
and don’t forget that there is someone up above.
chorus:
Well be a simple kind of man
Well be something you love and understand
Well be a simple kind of man
Oh want you do this for me son, if you can
Forget your lust of rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul.
And you can do this if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied.
Chorus
Oh 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.
