[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.'
