INTRO 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’ll help you some sunny day Ah yeah it will... Oh take your time don’t live to fast Troubles will come and they will pass You’ll find a woman and you’ll find love And don’t forget son there is a someone up above Chorus: And be a simple kind of man And 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 If you can... Forget 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 for you my son is to be satisfied (Chorus) 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 for you my son is to be satisfied Chorus Baby be a simple...be a simple man Oh won’t you do this for me son if you can...
