Well, Mama told me when I was young Said, "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 You'll find a woman, and you'll find love And don't forget that there is a 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?" "Get your lust from the rich man's gold All that you need now is in your soul And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied" "And be a simple kind of man 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, don't you worry, you'll find yourself Follow your heart and nothin' else And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied" "And be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can? So, baby, be a simple Be a simple man Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?"
