Lyrics:
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 Yah!
Oh, take your time Don‘t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass
You‘ll find a woman, yea yea, you‘ll find love,
And don‘t forget son,
There is someone up above
(Chorus)
And be a simple, kind of man
Oh be something, you love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man
Oh, won‘t you 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
(Chorus)
Boy, don‘t you worry you‘ll find yourself
Follow your heart, lord, 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
(Chorus)
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh be something, you love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man (Fade out)
