Well Mama told me when I was young said sit beside me my only son listen closely to what I say and if you do this it will help you some sunny day take your time, don’t live to fast, troubles will come and they will pass. You’ll find a women and you’ll find love and don’t forget that there is someone up above.
chorus: Well be a simple kind of man Well be something you love and understand Well be a simple kind of man Oh want you do this for me son, if you can
Forget your lust of rich man's gold All that you need now is in your soul. And you can do this 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 nothing else And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied.
