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

Oh, take your time don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

Go find a woman you'll find love

And don't forget son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man

Be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

You can do this for me son if you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you can do this, oh baby, 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, be a simple man

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

Boy, 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 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

You can do this for me son if you can?
