Able Bodied Man Lyrics - Singles - Charley Pride

(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 hiring now I understand 

And they're looking for an able bodied man.

You should see 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 

So now we're gonna have to change our plans 

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'd have 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 

I'll call you just as soon as I can 

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

If they're looking for an able bodied man? 

And remember I'm your able bodied man...
