Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes
But I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
And I'm busted
[Verse 2]
I got a cow that went dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills
It get bigger each day
The county will haul my belongin's away
I'm busted
[Verse 3]
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I'm busted
[Verse 4]
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 thinkin' of callin' on you
I'm busted"
[Verse 5]
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 family
Gotta pack up and go
Where I'll make a livin'
The Lord only knows
But I'm busted
