Able Bodied Man — текст песни (Charley Pride)

I`m calling from the station and I haven`t got much time to let you know
Got a ticket for Misoury 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 meet 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
And I was goin` to lose my job in such a little while
So now we`re gonna 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
[ steel ]
If I`d`ve 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 Misoury 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
