Able Bodied Man |
| I’m calling from the station |
| And I haven’t got much time to let you know |
| I’ve got a ticket for Missouri |
| And there’s things I need to say before I go |
| If I could I’d have you meet me but I don’t see how I can |
| I don’t have enough to pay your fare |
| There’s a factory in Columbus hiring now I understand |
| And they’re looking for an able bodied man |
| You should receive some money |
| In a letter that I mailed two days ago |
| But when I wrote the letter saying |
| You could come to me I didn’t know |
| That I was going to lose my job in such a little while |
| So now we’re going to have to change our plans |
| They may not hire me in Columbus but I’m pretty sure they will |
| 'Cause they’re looking for an able bodied man |
| If I’d had more education |
| I’d have made a better life for me and you |
| But such simple manual labor |
| Is the only kind of work that I can do |
| The bus is loading for Missouri so I guess I better go |
| I’ll call you as soon as I can |
| I’ll be sending you a ticket 'cause I think I’ll get the job |
| If they’re looking for an able bodied man |
| And remember I’m your able bodied man |
