- 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.
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
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.
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!❤
To be a simple man is the toughest thing a man can be.
It’s impossible. KISS🇿🇦
Perfeito

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
❤️
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 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 ❤
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 was my mom's song to me before she passed away 6 years ago RIP Mom 😭
💔😥🙏🏼
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.😢
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.
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😊
It ain’t that simple. Pretty hard in fact. May the free bird fly within us 🦅
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.
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❤
This is my song to my son. He is 38 and told him that when he 14 or so..and it still stands true ❤
"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...
One of the finest songs ever written, fantastic band
Definitely
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.
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.
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.
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
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
There’s nothing like music to get you through hard times.
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
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❤😂😂😅
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.
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.....
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!
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!
Perfect video for this righteous song. Honor, bravery and freedom
This song got me through the hardest days of my life
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.
My son and I danced to this song at his wedding. 🥰🥰🥰
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
Anthem for Humanity.
Love is the most powerful weapon in this earth!!!❤❤❤
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.
My blood brother aka best friend died in a motorcycle crash as he and i were going home from over cross country ride on our bikes , his last words were to me making me promise to play this song and have a cold brew by his grave site .. i think of him often but his dream of the cross country ride with me came true ... Ride High ,Ride Free my BROTHER aka Best friend.....i miss you ...
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 😊
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!!!
HE is not just up There. He is to be followed. Not the praise of this current culture, any day.
Simple man , explains itself. That’s what I am , just a simple man
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.
In 1969 while still in high school I saw the movie Easy Rider. I already had a 51 Panhead. While the other guys were playing football and running track. After school I got a job at a motorcycle shop working for parts acknowledge I rode my own Chopper to the Mardi Gras. I've lived by that movie and the music in it all my life. I'm 71 years old and I still ride a chopper and always will I think I am the simple man
2024 and I’m still sticking to what my momma told me , be a simple man .
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.
There is something very special about this song. Music moves me but this song does it in such a beautiful way.
this song can hit you unexpectedly hard when it pops up in your playlist
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
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 ❤❤❤
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 !
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
Writing this on August 13th 2023, to the day 50 years after its first release, this tune has lost none of its beauty and relevance
This track literally talks to me every time I hear it. 😔
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
I have given this song to my only son whom just buried his father this year he's 27, and has a huge gun collection now, I love his new hobby, and pray that I've taught him well. Amen
Amen
😢
65 and still listening 👍🏾🎶
Best message ever.
Mamas boy here at 27 years old and come to this song for reminding of mama. She still here I would be lost with out her she was my mom and my father at the same time.
Just now gave my 27 yr old son this song. I'm 52, and my father gave it to ME. A GIRL NO DOUBT. Does Not Matter
This song just makes me think about my papa who died in 02 but I never saw him
sorry friend,be a simple man.
Being a simple man is not simple.

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! ❤️ ❤️
My favorite song of LS , a fantastic ballad ! Real timeless Southern rock. Thanks for this great video ftom Italy
ich sitze hier vor dem PC mit einer Zigarre und einem Bourbon und lasse es mir gut gehn bei dieser geilen Musik😘😘😘😘
I listen to this in the shop, helps me keep things simple.
My song for mother and son dance at my son's wedding 💞
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'm in my twilight years. Someone else mentioned that her husband had three songs, he wanted played at his funeral. This is one I want played as well, at my wake. What an awesome song and band....
Takes me back to my party days!!!
I’ve never heard this song, but I like it it sounds old school!
You right
It is 50 years old.
This song gets you in the soul.
Yes it does
Η Θεσσαλονίκη άκουγε καί ακούει, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Αλλωστε μέ αυτούς μεγαλώσαμε.
Such a pretty song 🎵 😍 💕 love n it.❤❤❤❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Treat others the way you want others to treat you. 1 John 4:10,11
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
Sang this to my son in the hospital when he was born
The best of them all. Let it rock on
One of the best lyrics.
I use to sing this to my son at a very young age, i dedicated this song to him, and when he was 18 he had to go to jail and he told me he finally listened to the whole song. And one of his favorite songs to listen to up until the day i lost him in 2017 , i played this song at his celebration of life.
This song reminds me of my mother.
Southern rock at its best no doubt
My first son was born this morning at 8:32am. This is the first song that I wanted to listen to after his birth.
That's awesome
Terveiset Suomesta ❤️. Kaunista ja niin pitääkin. PEACE KAIKKIALLE ❤️
No Words can say How Much this Band has Meant to Me. Thank You LYNYRD SKYNYRD. The Music will Continue for an Eternity ✝️✝️✝️
I always imagine my mom up in the sky singing this to me like she used to sing to me
the dog here i am live life like a simple man and ready to get on my scooter and nomad my way down the long dark HWY 40 and meet the rest of the dogs on that matter along the way.. much love and respect to the 81
Masterpiece
Growing up with out a dad this song changed my life❤
First time watching this magnificent video. I had some tears in my eyes. God bless for putting this together for many of us to view. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
