- 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
You'll 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, 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"
Oh yes, I will
"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"
Baby, be a simple, really simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand...

My husband had 3 songs written down in his wallet when he suddenly passed away to be played at his funeral, this was 1 of them. Our daughter was only 3 years old at the time and now she is 21 and expecting our first Grandchild "a boy"💙
He was a wise man
Requiem aeternam dona eis domine et lux perpetua lucet eis requescat in pace amen🙏🏻
God bless you and your family!
At my funeral, Richard Wagner Einzug der Götter in Walhall!!!! I am German.
He was a real one then.
To be a simple man is the toughest thing a man can be.
It’s impossible. KISS🇿🇦
Perfeito
I cant listen to this song without tearing up/ I lost my 11 year old boy in 2018. I wanted to teach him all I could about being a man. I used to think of this song when I thought of what I wanted him to become. Its all gone now. Miss you Mikey. Best son in the world. Daddy is gonna be with you someday bud.
Some day Life will brake our soul and heart beyond repair some day it is just about time
@@gerardovargas464 Truth brother
Brother, you will see him again, of this have no doubt.
Peace my brother peace!!
My deepest sympathy.
I see many are listening to this as well as myself these days, I'm turning 59 and this song is mostly about God and finding peace for your soul, this is the only peace you will ever find that will fill the emptiness inside your heart and soul, nothing else, now rare.God Bless to all!!!
Right back at you brother.
I'm turning 70 this ....AMEN BROTHER
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm 66 and still trying to find peace, I fight the demons every day
@@bigsur175 We all do brother, it's an everyday battle, still God said seek me with all your heart and you will find me!!!
I used to play this song with my son who was born 11/23/83. He passed 3/25/2018. This brings tears EVERY time I hear it.
I saw Lynryd Skynryd four times. Twice before their 1977 crash. Their music will be around long after I die.
To be played at my funeral too.
I just got shivers reading this
🥺🥺🥺 Sooo sorry for your loss... 😢 Great song... tragic loss.. ...
I am so very sorry about your Son. Sending you love, from one mom to another. God bless you. ✨✨
God bless
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 my son passed in 2018 as well
This song was played at my husband's funeral. He was indeed a simple man. He was completely free when he was on his bike, riding in the wind. I miss him more each day. .💔
I'll put this on and take a ride across the desert on my old HD for him--one simple man to another
Makes u think this song best music ever
Impressive Webber tummy time? it's is.
🤍
You were so blessed to have him...still waiting for mine!❤
This was my mom's song to me before she passed away 6 years ago RIP Mom 😭
💔😥🙏🏼
One of th best and truest songs ever written in th history of poets . Amazing..
Absolutely excellent message 🤗🙋🏻♀️
Truth.!
♥️
Ronnie van Zant is always be one of the best rock poets. RIP Ronnie
How many of us would love to listen to Mom? Except we've gotten f***** u* to simple-minded people. Not someone that I say I've just crazy people. I said taking advice about that. B****, I'll be your simple.
Poets write poems....lyricists write songs.
This is one of the most underrated songs of all time.I´m now 70 years old, stay in Germany and i love the USA, and the music, who come from there, so I`m also a fan from Quicksilver and many other US Bands from the seventies. As a people you works for years in a travel agency I stay often together with my wife Angie ins the USA. We love this country. And as germans we say, thank you for putting away the nazis and thank you for the music.
Isnt it amazing how many lives have been affected by this simple song? Ive got my story about how this song was introduced to me and the impact this song has had in my life. Im a 4th generation farmer im a combat veteran served with 2nd/75th Rangers and im a husband of 32 years with 5 daughters but most of all im just a simple man more than satisfied with the life ive lived. Im generous and i believe in morals and values. My moms no longer here but i think she raised me right 😊👍🙏. Ive got a farm run, you all have a blessed day my friends🙏
Мне 63 я из Калининграда Россия, а понимаю тебя так как будто давно знакомы , родственные души есть во всех странах и это мой народ !
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us, thanks for your service- as a soldier, husband, father, farmer, and Soldier. Peace Brother.
👍
Wow. That story was really good
Great song!
And this uploader has to effectively pee on its grave by using an absolute Communist in it like Peter Fonda. Fonda and his daughter, Hanoi Jane, deserve to be remembered in American history in the same breath as Benedict Arnold.
I wish my father was still here with me.... I miss you Papa... I'll be that simple man you've always wanted 😭... Rest Well
My Dad was a great man simple didn’t talk much but when he did listen to words of wisdom a very family man and worked 50 some CEO yrs miss him would do anything but never loan money have to learn that one very important to budget and working ! He knew so much
I am with you, and my father dies young .... this song help us a little bit. I am from Germany. Cheer up, it goes on and on.
Lost my Dad Feb/05/22. He was very simple, without any bells and whistles... He worked until he was 71. 3 years later he got cancer.
I miss him every day.😢
Played this song for my nephew as he didn't have the parents he deserved. He is a young man who works, not making a ton of money but works to support his two kids and lady. May this song always guide him when times get tough.
Diz a ele o senhor proverá
Turn him on to Upchurch too. 💙
My husband was a SIMPLE MAN. He loved hunting and fishing and riding his Ultra Classic HD...i lost him in January...still hurting...but will be okay someday...
I lost my Sumple Man in Jan. 2023.,.he loved hunting and fishing too and riding his Ultra classic...so there are two of them in God's army on biked
❤️
It ain’t that simple. Pretty hard in fact. May the free bird fly within us 🦅
This song is amazing, momma teaching her son about life and love,& God bless all the mothers careing about the child and wanting him to be happy! Jerry Purgerson Sr
Word !
I have 6 for you @@jerrywatt6813
❤Amen❤
"Easy Rider"...the first, last and only truly great movie starring Peter Fonda...what an awesome movie...what an awesome time to be alive and young and free...we remember...we remember well.
Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd...I would go back to this time in a heartbeat...
This is my song to my son. He is 38 and told him that when he 14 or so..and it still stands true ❤
My son played and sang this song for me one day. He was sad that day, I saw his pain. He passed away at almost 35 years old. We lost him, his heart was shattered. I hear this song and it’s bittersweet. RIP my son 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss 🇺🇸💙🌹.
Sorry for your loss ❤
I have always loved this song. It never gets old. I grew up in the 70's so I was blessed to see them in concert with the original members. There will never be another Skynyrd, they were one of a kind. They left us with so much amazing music to enjoy and cherish forever. I will always love Freebird and many songs from Skynyrd.
Where and what year did you see them? We saw them in September, 1974, in Charlotte, NC . I got married in December, 1977, but the 2 most vivid memories were October 20th, 1977, when the plane went down. And August 17, 1977 when I heard the breakthrough on news when Elvis died.
I saw the original band 1977 at Freedom Hall Civic Center Johnson City Tennessee. My brothers Jimmy n Bud their good friend James his little brother Timmy and they played Simple man. Years later 1983 i had my only son Jay he died in o6 Many times i bragged to him about seeing them in concert
❤❤my only son died 2021 he love this song and others i play this everyday in memory and the love for my son Pete. I miss you my son ❤always in my soul forever
60's 70's brother
How the band got this title tells all😊
One of the finest songs ever written, fantastic band
Definitely
I can listen to this song over and over again
Indeed
This song is my ring tone has been for several yrs...
❤ This song is on my funeral list. Love
Me too brother!
I keep playing it repeatedly too! Great song!
For my son. Who is full of light and grit. I cherish you ♥️
That's beautiful so sorry x
For my daughter's Daddy ,gone forever at 22 Lost his knee's in the breeze in 1989 Australian
There’s nothing like music to get you through hard times.
This song got me through the hardest days of my life
If all of mankind followed the message in this song the world would be a better place
Jes it would
💯
it would.
Yes. Listened again today March 4. Saw the movie 7 times when it came out.
A song to live your life by.
😅My s on What s ab chooper
Saw Skynyrd the day after our granddaughter passed away after 10 days of life. It was bittersweet , all of the songs hit the feels in a good way , and now my wife passed away almost 2 years ago. And freebird and stairway to heaven make me crumble ....in a good way. Miss you HotRod. 10.10.21
This song makes me long for a time that no longer exists
It does. ✌🏼
Matt McQuestion Awww Matt, it still exists, close your eyes, take your hands off the handlebars and fly❤️
Yeh mama
Mamas
True.
Love is the most powerful weapon in this earth!!!❤❤❤
Never knew my mother or father didn’t find out my heritage on my biological mother side till I was almost 70! This is my favorite song by Skynyrd
Played at my best friends funeral! Bone cancer at late fifties, gone too soon. Have a small bag of his ashes given to me by his wife so he can travel with e wherever I go! Miss you every day Eric!
Hard to listen to this song without tearing up. Always brings memories of my late Father and my Great Uncle, two very important and influential people in my childhood and life in general. R.i.p. I will be with you two again someday..
Be strong brother!
There is something very special about this song. Music moves me but this song does it in such a beautiful way.
My son and I danced to this song at his wedding. 🥰🥰🥰
Some songs just hit the nail on the head, somehow it becomes more than the sum, excellent all round, writing, vocal, band support, all fantastic....miss you Ronnie and your boy's !
Love Lynyrd Skynyrd! As a Florida native I can say they were and still are a big thing in Florida. Tuesdays gone was played at my cousin’s funeral. Such talent and such tragedy.
The song really hits me in the heart because I hit the lotto with my son I love you big dog❤😂😂😅
Great song by a great band, always gets me in the throat, and my eyes well up when I listen to it, that is just how life is
Man, this song has so much meaning for me. I lost my baby brother in the 70s a few months away of him turning 3. I'm blessed to have 3 sons and 1 daughter and I'm sure I played this song alot to my boys growing up.❤ played a lot of Stevie Nicks and Pat benatar and other inspiring empowering videos for my daughter 😊
When I saw Peter Fonda cruising on his motorcycle with the coolest shades ever.....gave me chills. What an amazing song and a beautiful video.....
If your like me, a gen x 54 yr old, then I want you to know that as a kid I never really paid much attention to this song. But now it hits me like a good sermon from a preacher who tells you what you need to hear and not want you want to hear. It moves me. It scrambles hope in with acceptance of past mistakes. It gives me peace.
If you get a chance listen to "Between a Laugh and a Tear" by John Cougar Mellencamp off his Rain on the Scarecrow album.
You won't be disappointed i promise you.
May God bless you.
This is absolutely the song in existence. It's something i just feel to the bone. This song speaks to me. I've requested this song to be played at my funeral. I love Skynyrd through and through. There will never be another band like them. Loaded with talent. Raw honest music.
My brother's song played at his funeral. It fit him so well.
I want it too. When I'm dead and gone, this is one of the songs to be played in my funeral
May your brother rest in peace and listen to all the great songs in heaven by one of the greatest bands ever
Ah buddy, laying here in the bath as I do listening to the best songs in the world, reading your comment of course has brought a tear to my eyes. Some day you will be with him yes, but remember he is with you everyday in everything you do. His soul lives on with you and helps you get through everyday. Keep your chin up my friend and always remember the good times.
I was a late rock fan. Now I can't get enough. Nothing better than rock.❤ Really love rock. Make me cry how beautiful it sounds. Rock rule
My favorite song of LS , a fantastic ballad ! Real timeless Southern rock. Thanks for this great video ftom Italy
This track literally talks to me every time I hear it. 😔
This has always been my song to my 2 sons. I wanted it to be the Groom/Mother song at my oldest son’s wedding. But it is a little too long. I told my hub when my time comes … I want ‘this video’ song played at my funeral. It’s perfect! ❤️ ❤️
Excellent video with an awesome song. I think of my older brother that passed away in 2020 and it brings me to tears every time I hear this song. We enjoyed anything outside. A fun and easy going guy.
A lot of people are returning to spirit. They’re all warriors
I will not live long enough to witness a return to this kind of music.
It never left you. Surround yourself with it.
I hope the youth of today have parents that let their kids in on the great music from the sixties seventies and eighties there will never be better music than those 3 decades
This song just makes me think about my papa who died in 02 but I never saw him
sorry friend,be a simple man.
this song can hit you unexpectedly hard when it pops up in your playlist
Simple man , explains itself. That’s what I am , just a simple man
Best message ever.
Without a doubt simple Man is a classic I love this song I remember Lynyrd Skynyrd back in my days everytime I hear freebird simple Man and Alabama he just brings me right back Lynyrd Skynyrd for life ❤
The best of them all. Let it rock on
Such a pretty song 🎵 😍 💕 love n it.❤❤❤❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Мне мать однажды, когда был юн,
Присядь поближе, сказала, сын,
Послушай, что я скажу тебе,
Мне если внемлишь,
То избежишь тем много бед.
Не торопись жить быстро, мчась,
Несчастья, боль придут, не плачь,
Найди девчонку, влюбись, будь рад,
Не забывай, сын, кто-то есть там, в небесах.
Будь человеком ты простым,
Собою будь и будешь ты любим!
Сын, будь человеком ты простым,
О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын.
Забудь, сын, страсть к богатству тож,
Тебе, что нужно, в душе найдёшь,
Ты сможешь сделать так, только осознай,
Всё, что хочу тебе, мой сын,
Чтоб ты был счастлив, знай!
Будь человеком ты простым,
Собою будь и будешь ты любим!
Сын, будь человеком ты простым,
О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын.
Сын мой, не бойся, найди себя,
За сердцем следуй своим всегда,
Ты сможешь сделать так, только осознай,
Всё, что хочу тебе, мой сын,
Чтоб ты был счастлив, знай!
Будь человеком ты простым,
Сделай это для меня, добр будь сын,
Сын, будь человеком ты простым,
О, сделай это для меня, добр будь сын…
спасибо
Merci ❤❤❤
This excellent piece of music 🎶🎵🎶🎵 art perfectly performed and done here brings back so many memories of the past when things were more different pure and simple things have been changed dramatically for the worst sometimes I wish I could turn back time to live exactly the same things without changing anything great times and years to be young and alive without any second thoughts and without any serious problems so careless years the only thing that stays the same is good music and definitely the memories that follows it the great 'Νίτσε' said that "Life without music would be a mistake" so true.....
One of the best lyrics.
Not a religious man, but I am a Skynyrd fan and have been since the 70s. That said these words mean so much to me, true heart felt words from Ronnie. Religious or not this song reaches the heart and soul.
another rock anthem. maybe im just old but i just dont know of any classic rockers today creating all this music. all this music always seemed to be entwined in your memories. fabulous
When I here this song I remember the old America 🇺🇸 and I’m a Cuban rafter what happened 🤷🏻♂️
The Internet, Social & Main stream Media + plus two generations of us parent's who allowed TV & Video game's to help raise our children, unfortunately that's what happened 😞
well answered
This song always hits home, love to have a good sing along
Be a simple man everyone. You come to realize growing up that life is flying by. Im only 27 and it hard to be happy in this wicked world so enjoy the small and simple things. Its easy to get caught up in life and not enjoy it im realizing that now. You don't have to have alot of money to enjoy the small things like waking up another day in this hell hole. Try to enjoy life the best you can. One day you will be taken from this evil place and be somewhere better.
Wonderful music of the three decades.. great songs, still sing along. Great memories of my lifetime of joys, happy times, some tears. It's been a wonderful ride so far.. hope it brings memories to each and all of you.. I love it!!Best wishes to all.
Masterpiece
Forever my song 🤘 life's a journey, ride on....
Wow, what a trip back! Simple Man, simple times and easy rider. Blew my mind with memories.
This Song is from me to my Son. Always been a favorite ❤
I salute you for this fabulous production ~ Bravo!
From Southern California ~ Ride Forever! 🦅
I feel some songs are written with true inspiration this is definitely one.
My mom passed away from cancer years ago. I had an iPod she would always like to borrow. While she was home on hospice & while she still could, she managed to load this song on It was months before I even wanted to listen to music. When I finally did there was a folder labeled mom, this one song.. still cry every time I hear it as a 45 year old man. Gave her the grandchildren she always wanted a few years later. She obviously never got to meet them but she's with them. My daughter is named after her. She has her middle name for her first name & first for her middle.
Curto muito esse som,faz parte da minha história
I’ve never heard this song, but I like it it sounds old school!
You right
It is 50 years old.
Excellent. Thank you for taking me back to the good days.
You never realise you're living in the good old days until they are over!
Music that speaks to the soul
Absolutely Brilliant
Cheers
The saxophone solo is absolutely beautiful... I got my first sax and learning to play this solo... Gonna be the first solo I learn...
Southern rock at its best no doubt
One of my favorite songs of all time.
This song is and has Always been for my first born Son.! ❤ I love you Elton 10)24/75

That's awesome
Just a MASTERPIECE...!!! ❤
A time of peace and freedom when in God we trust was strong, brotherly love, it's slowly slipping away from our children and grandchildren, please help me to bring our peace, freedom and love back to our nation that's falling away from God.God Bless All❤️❤️❤️, love you all!!!

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

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
Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else

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, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
