Mama told me when I was young

"Come sit beside me, oh baby, my only son
           Em     D          Em
And listen closely to what I say
           G      D                          Em
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

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
So, baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, Won't you do this for me, Son, if you can
Oh, Oh

Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart, 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
Oh, Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a Simple kind of Man
Won't you do this for me, Son, If you can

Baby, 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
