Letra de
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,
if 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 just 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.
