Simple Man - Live Songtext
von 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
Oh, yeah

I'll be your simple man

Oh, take your time, don′t live too fast
Troubles will come, oh, and they will pass
You'll 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
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, oh 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, 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
Oh, be something 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
I'll be your simple man

Boy, don′t you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart, oh, and nothing else
Oh you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied

And one more thing

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple man
Oh, won′t you do this for me child, if you can?

Baby, be a simple, kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple man

Oh won't you do this, for me son, if you can

Oh mama you know, you know
I'll do the very best I can
