Mama told me when I was youngCome sit beside me, my only sonAnd
listen closely to what I say.And if you do thisIt will help you
some sunny day.Take your time... Don't live too
fast,Troubles will come and they will pass.Go find a woman and
you'll find love,And don't forget son,There is someone
up above.(Chorus)And be a simple kind of man.Be something you
love and understand.Be a simple kind of man.Won't you do
this for me son,If you can?Forget your lust for the rich
man's goldAll that 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.(Chorus)Boy, don't you worry... you'll find
yourself.Follow you heart and nothing else.And you can do this
if you try.All I want for you my son,Is to be
satisfied.(Chorus)
