My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted Cotton is down
to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted I got a cow that went dry and a hen
that won't lay A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day The
county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted.
I went to my
brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted I hate to beg like a dog
without his bone, but I'm busted My brother said there ain't a thing I can
do, My wife and my kids are all down with the flu, And I was just
thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted.
Well, I am no thief,
but a man can go wrong when he's busted The food that we canned last summer
is gone and I'm busted The fields are all bare and the cotton won't
grow, Me and my family got to pack up and go, But I'll make a living,
just where I don't know cause I'm busted.
