Oh my bills are all due And the babies need shoes Then I'm busted
Cotton is down To a quarter a pound And I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills That get bigger each day
And the county's gonna Haul my belongings away 'Cuz I'm busted
'Cuz I went to my brother To ask for a loan 'Cuz I was busted
Well I hate to beg Like a dog for a bone
But I'm busted
Oh my brother said There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are down With the flu
And I was just thinkin' About callin' on you
Now I'm busted
Lord I'm 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 families gotta Pack up and go
I'll make a living And where I don't know 'Cuz I'm busted
