Lyrics
Well I'm calling from the station and
I haven't got much time to let you know
I 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
Well 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 have had more education I'd
Have 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 loading for Missouri so I guess I'd better go
Well I'll call you as soon as I can
And 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
