Introduction:

                        D                                                                            G                                                                                         D  
        I'm calling from the station and I haven't got much time to let you know,
                                          D                                                                                 G                                                                      A  
        I've got a ticket for Missouri and there's things I need to say before I go.
                          G                                                                                    D  
          If I could I'd have you meet me but I don't see how I can,
          D                                    D7                                         G  
          I don't have enough to pay your fare,
                                        G                                                                    D  
          there's a factory in Columbus hiring now I understand
                                             G                                    A                            D  
          and they're looking for an able bodied man .
                             D                                                                         G                                                                              D  
          You should receive some money in a letter that I mailed two days ago,
                          D                                                                            G                                                                              A  
          but when I wrote the letter saying you could come to me I didn't know.
                     G                                                                                 D  
          That I was going to lose my job in such a little while,
                     D                                            D7                                                 G  
          so now we're going to have to change our plans,
                                                G                                                                         D  
          they may not hire me in Columbus but I'm pretty sure they will,
                                          G                                    A                            D  
          if they're looking for an able bodied man.
 DA  
                                D                                                                      G                                                                            D  
          If I'd had more education I'd have made a better life for me and you,
                                     D                                                                    G                                                                      A  
          but such simple manual labor is the only kind of work that I can do.
                                          G                                                                 D  
          The bus is loading for Missouri so I guess I better go,
                          D                                         D7                    G  
          I'll call you just as soon as I can,
                                  G                                                                            D  
          I'll be sending you a ticket cause I think I'll get the job,
                                          G                                    A                            D  
          if they're looking for an able bodied man.
                             G                                      A                            D  
          And remember I'm your able bodied man.
