Simple Man

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

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
Find you a woman, 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, be a simple 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
That I want for you, my son
Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Be something, you love and understand
Baby, be a simple, be a simple 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
Find you a woman, you'll find love
And don't forget, son
There is someone above

And be a simple kind of man
Be something, you love and understand
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?
Won't you do this for me, son, if you can?
