Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me my only son, my son
You listen closely to what I have to say
'Cause it will help you, some day
To be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
And be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can?
Forget your **, for rich man's gold
All you need is in your soul
And you can do this, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
To be a simple kind of man
And be something you love and understand
Be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can?
