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.'
'Oh, take your time, don't live too fast.
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love
and don't forget, son, there is someone up above.'
'And be a simple kind of 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.'
'Forget your lust for the rich man's 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.'
'And be a simple kind of 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.'
'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.'
'And be a simple kind of 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.'

I'm headed down a highway, got my suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head, I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town...
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the south-land
I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again
And I think it's a sin, yes
We...
I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you...
Two feets they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin' naked
Creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, ...
If I leave here tomorrow
would you still remember me
For I must be travelling on now
there's too many places I gotta see
And if I stay here with you g...
You don't see their faces and they don't come around
Well I'm not that way
I got to move along
I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix ...
Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around
My baby's got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
Yes i heard t...
