Every time I hear this song I am reminded of our friend John back in Jersey.
Mama told me
When I was young
Come sit beside me
My only son
Listen closely
To what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
Ahh yeah
Oh take your time
Don't live to fast
Troubles will come
And they will pass
Find a woman ooh yeah
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'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Get your lust
Off a rich man's gold
All that you need
Is in your soul
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
Or be something you'll 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
Oh don't you worry
You''ll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
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
Or be something you'll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Baby be a simple be a simple man

I can remember the first time I heard this song. I was in high school at a friends house and a couple of guys played on the guitar and I fell in love - with the song and later one of the guys but that didn't work out... yada yada yada
