I don't have a lot of time left on this ship we call Earth. But today, just this moment, I came to realize that these lyrics describe my heart, for my criminal son, , , , whom I love, , , , but is lost and is dying and alone on the ship of un-simple men! Thanks for the tearful moment.

"You can't love music without loving silence because silence is the canvas upon which musicians paint their work."

Absolutely beautiful, again. I’m baby sitting my newest grandson and at 63 I hope I live long enough to see him become a simple man. Thank you again.

Best female cover of an iconic song ever.

[AngryPeopleLikeYou]

the best cover version there is. all the others are screaming. this calm singing is like an arrow straight to the heart.

[veritasman]

Beyond the beauty of her voice... There's something deeply Authentic and irresistible about this performance
Genuingly gifted and talented Artist

[WalkenDead]

I know this is 4 years old, but in a world of Cardi B, Nikki Minaj, Ariana Grande, we need more of this. Her vocal skills alone would put them to shame, not to mention the instrumentation

[Frosstbite]

Youtube helped me realize that there are still great artists out there. I don't even listen to the radio anymore, I just stream covers. Love new clean voices like this.

While my brother was dieing, I was looking for the song simple man lynard skynard, as far as I can ever remember he was always listening to simple man I cam across your version it just sounded so beautiful to me, I played it to him tears rolled down his face he said she sings it beautiful. I listen to you often, reminds how much I love and miss him

I lost my best friend of 50 years on 4-19-22. His wish was for my daughter to sing this for him at his funeral. I think this version is the best I have found. Thank you for the strong emotional feeling from an age old song that will live for ever in all out hearts. RIP Mondo Man

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'll 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 yeah 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 oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

[hunterpruitt]

This version gives me chills. One of the good memories I have with my mom is she used to play this for me. I miss the old her so much.

[ninjapolemistis]

It saddens me that talented people like you don't get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for sharing your gift with the rest of us.
Wish you the best.

[KristinAriane]

My son chose this version for our mother/son dance at his wedding. Love it.

[damonzero]

This song reminds me of my father. He died when I was 15. I’m now 18 and see him every time I look in the mirror. He would be proud to see his little boy growing up. Man, three years without him is starting to feel like more... This cover would have made him happy, and it made me cry. You have an amazing voice, thank you for making this cover.

[BradSR]

Of course, Yes, I seen this on Mayans M.C. This brings back memories of Sons of Anarchy and all of the amazing music it had also.

Lyrics :

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'll help you
Some sunny day oh yeah
Oh take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman yeah 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 oh babe 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
Oh yes I will
Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this oh babe 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
And baby be a simple real simple man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
