 “Simple Man” Song Lyrics

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" 
 
"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, son,  

There is someone up above" 
 
"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" 
 
"Forget your lust  

For the rich man's gold 
All that you need 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" 
 
"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" 
 
Oh, yes, I will 
 
"Boy, don't you worry,  

You'll find yourself 
Follow your heart  

And nothing else 
And you can 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 
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?" 
 
"Baby, be a simple,  

Be a simple man 
Oh, be something youL 

love and understand 
Baby, be a  

Simple kind of simple man 
Oh, won't you do this  

For me, son, if you can?"
