  • Mama told me, when I was young
    "Said sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely, to what I say
    And if you do this, it will help you some sunny day" oh yeah

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

    And be a simple kind of man
    Hmm, 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, if you can

    And get your lust from the rich man's gold
    All that you need now 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
    Be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Won't you do this for me son, if you can, if you can

    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 from you my son, is to be satisfied

    And be a simple kind of man
    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

    So baby, be a simple, be a simple man
    Oh won't you do this for me son if you can Writer/s: Gary Robert Rossington, Ronnie Van Zant
