Bobby Bare - Able Bodied Man lyrics

rate me

I'm calling from the station and I haven't got much time to let you know

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 hirin' now I understand

And they're looking for an able bodied man

Baby you should get some money in the 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 goin' to lose my job in such a little while

Now I guess we'll have to change our plan

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 had more education now I'd a' made a better life for me and you

But just simple manual labor is the only kind of work that I can do

The bus is loadin' for Missouri so I guess I'd better go

Hon I'll call you up as soon as I can

I'll be sending you a ticket cause I know I'll get a job

If they're looking for an able bodied man

I'll be sending you a ticket cause I know I'll get a job

And remember I'm your able bodied man
