This is the version from the "One More from the Road" album recorded at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia, in July of 1976.

Mama told me when I was young
Come 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.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

    paulyzaza -Seminole HS -- 1978 -- Where Skynrd ALWAYS Played ...

  • It´d be interesting to make a parody song called " Complex woman" i guess it could be funny. Lynyrd Skynyrd it's the greatest rock band in history !! Only true music lovers know the quality of "this group of friends who get together to play the music they all love" said by Ronnie Van Zant. RIP Cassie, Steve and Ronnie. You'll always be in our cars and ours iPods.
