[00:21.590]Mama told me when I was young:
[00:29.820]'Come sit beside me, my only son,
[00:37.710]and listen closely to what I say
[00:45.730]and if you do this it will help you some sunny day.'
[01:10.160]'Oh, take your time, don't live too fast.
[01:18.160]Troubles will come and they will pass.
[01:26.010]Go find a woman and you'll find love
[01:34.160]and don't forget, son, there is someone up above.'
[01:42.040] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[01:50.180] oh, be something you love and understand.
[01:57.390] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[02:05.930] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
[02:22.140]'Forget your lust for the rich man's gold,
[02:30.070]all that you need is in your soul.
[02:38.050]And you can do this if you try.
[02:45.880]All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.'
[02:53.860] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[03:01.480] oh, be something you love and understand.
[03:09.310] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[03:17.540] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
[04:19.040]'Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself.
[04:26.800]Follow your heart and nothing else.
[04:34.520]And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
[04:42.230]All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.'
[04:50.350] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[04:57.940] oh, be something you love and understand.
[05:05.460] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[05:13.570] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
