My bills are all due

and the baby needs shoes

and I&#39;m busted.

Cotton is down

to a quarter a pound

but I&#39;m busted.

I got a cow that went dry
and a hen that won&#39;t lay.
A big stack of bills
that gets bigger each day.

The county&#39;s gonna haul

my belongings away

&#39;causc I&#39;m busted.

I went to my brother

to ask for a loan

&#39;cause I was busted.

I hate to beg like a dog

without his bone

but I&#39;m busted.

My brother said there
ain&#39;t a thing I can do.

My wife and my kids

are all down with the flu. l

And I was just thinkin&#39;

about callin&#39; on you

&#39;cause I&#39;m busted.

We 11. lam no thief

but a man can go wrong

when he&#39;s busted.

The food that we canned

the last summer is gone

and I&#39;m busted.

The fields are all bare
and the cotton won&#39;t grow.

Me and my family

got to pack up and go.

rm broke.
No bread.

I mean like nothin&#39;.

Forget it.
