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 will help you some sunny day |
|
Take your time, boy, don't live too fast |
|
Troubles will come, yeah and they will pass |
|
Find a woman and you'll find love |
|
And don't forget, son, there's someone up above |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Just be something you love and understand |
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man |
|
Now won't you do this, oh son, if you can? |
|
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold |
|
All that you need is in your soul |
|
And you could do this, oh baby, if you try |
|
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Just be something you love and understand |
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man |
|
Now won't you do this, oh son, if you can? |
|
Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself |
|
Follow your heart and nothing else |
|
You can do this, oh baby, if you try |
|
All I want from you, my son, is to be satisfied |
|
And be a simple kind of man |
|
Just be something you love and understand |
|
Baby, be a simple kind of man |
|
Now won't you do this, oh son, if you can? |
