Play A Simple Song

Oh my friend won't you tell me what to do?

A'They don't seem to understand

I try so hard to make my music tell the truth

A'Can't you lend a helpin' hand?

You gotta play a simple song for them

A'That's the only thing they want to love and understand

Won't you play a simple song for them?

Well I think that the songs are doin' fine

Well I can tell what's on their mind

You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can

To help the people understand

You gotta play a simple song for them

That's the only thing they want to love and understand

Won't you play a simple song for them?

Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again

You gotta play a simple song for them

That's the only thing they want to love and understand

Won't you play a simple song for them?
