Текст песни Able Bodied Man

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

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.
Bobby Bare - Able Bodied Man - http://ru.motolyrics.com/bobby-bare/able-bodied-man-lyrics.html
But 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've 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...
