I Am a Simple Man

I am a simple Man now that Mama's Gone, I've lost my friend She ran the race oh yeah, she fought the fight Now mama's gone, I've never seen my dad She never spoke a single bad word about him In her whole life. I knew she knew, I lived fast and perhaps a bit to loose And of all the smiling women who'd break my heart Caught up in each song, she'd speak of God" So if you can, mama said be kind to your fellow man Be kind to all the women who'd hold your hand Mama's gone, her pictures on the wall above my bed And I won't be what other's need me to be. Love and happiness, satisfaction, hope you understand And never lust after women who have men Read the good book, And what it means to those who are wiser still. Mama's gone now and boy so yes I will Remember that money is the root of all that's bad And their are women who'd need that root to do something bad. Mama's gone and her song has made us strong"
