Verse 1
D 
I'm calling from the station and
G 
D 
I haven't got much time to let you know
Got a ticket for Missouri and there's
G 
A 
things I need to say before I go
G 
If I could I'd have you meet
D 
me but I don't see how I can
I don't have enough

Verse 2
G 
There's a factory in Columbus
D 
hirin' now I understand
G 
And they're looking for
A 
D 
an able bodied man
Baby you should get some money in the
G 
D 
letter that I mailed two days ago
G 
But when I wrote the letter saying you
A 
could come to me I didn't know
G 
That I was goin' to lose my
D 
A 
D 
job in such a little while

Verse 3
D 
Now I guess we'll have
G 
to change our plan
They may not hire me in Columbus
D 
but I'm pretty sure they will
G 
Cause they're looking
A 
D 
for an able bodied man

Verse 4
D 
If I had more education now I'd a'
G 
D 
made a better life for me and you
G 
But just simple manual labor is the only

kind of work that I can do
G 
The bus is loadin' for Missouri
D 
so I guess I'd better go

Verse 5
D 
G 
Hon I'll call you up as soon as I can
I'll be sending you a ticket
D 
cause I know I'll get a job
G 
A 
D 
If they're looking for an able bodied man
G 
I'll be sending you a ticket
D 
cause I know I'll get a job
G 
A 
D 
A 
And remember I'm your able bodied man
