Simple Man [DVD] by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, oh baby, to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
And be your simple man

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, oh, and they pass
Go find a woman, oh baby, and you'll find love
And don't forget son, there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Or be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

Forget your lust for rich man's gold
All that you need, oh, 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
Or be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Oh yes I will
I'll be your simple man

Boy don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart, oh, 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
Or be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me child, if you can?

And baby be a simple kind of man
Or be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Oh mummy you know I'll do
I'll do the very best I can
