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?
