Simple Man

Well, 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 will help you some sunny day

Oh, take your time, don't leave too fast

Troubles will come, and they will pass

Go find a woman, and 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

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son

If you can

Forget your lust for rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you could do this 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

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, 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

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

Be something you love and understand

And be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son

If you can
