Текст песни Simple Man - Live At The Fox Theatre/1976 - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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 yeah)
Oh 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
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' 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
If you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' 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 babe, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin' you love and understand
Baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can?
Baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh be somethin' child you love and understand
Baby be a simple be a simple man
Won't you do this for me son if you can? (Oh yeah)
Ahhh mama I will be a simple man
Don't you know don't you know
I'm doing the best I can
