A letra:
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 yeah
Oh take your time don't
live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a
woman yeah and 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
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 babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is
to be satisfied
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
Oh yes I
will
Oh don't you worry
you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you
can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is
to be satisfied
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
And baby be a simple
real simple man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be
a simple kind of man
