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

'causc 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. l

And I was just thinkin'

about callin' on you

'cause I'm busted.

We 11. lam no thief

but a man can go wrong

when he's busted.

The food that we canned

the 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.

rm broke.
No bread.

I mean like nothin'.

Forget it.
