Mama told me when I was young
          B      F#        G#m 
Come sit beside me, my only son
           B     F#         G#m 
And listen closely to what I say
           B             F#          G#m 
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day oh yeah

Solo:
B F# G#m 

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

And be a simple kind of man
(Baby be a simple, be a simple 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)

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need 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

Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart 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
