[00:19.51] SIMPLE MAN
[00:32.99] Mama told me when I was young:
[00:41.22] 'Come sit beside me, my only son,
[00:49.11] and listen closely to what I say
[00:57.13] and if you do this it will help you some sunny day.'
[01:21.56] 'Oh, take your time, don't live too fast.
[01:29.56] Troubles will come and they will pass.
[01:37.41] Go find a woman and you'll find love
[01:45.56] and don't forget, son, there is someone up above.'
[01:53.44] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[02:01.58] oh, be something you love and understand.
[02:08.79] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[02:17.33] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
[02:33.54] 'Forget your lust for the rich man's gold,
[02:41.47] all that you need is in your soul.
[02:49.45] And you can do this if you try.
[02:57.28] All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.'
[03:05.26] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[03:12.88] oh, be something you love and understand.
[03:20.71] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[03:28.94] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
[04:30.44] 'Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself.
[04:38.20] Follow your heart and nothing else.
[04:45.92] And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
[04:53.63] All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.'
[05:01.75] 'And be a simple kind of man,
[05:09.34] oh, be something you love and understand.
[05:16.86] Baby, be a simple kind of man.
[05:24.97] Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can.'
