Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The bills are all due and my baby need shoes, but I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away, I'm busted
[Verse 2]
I called brother Bill for to get me a loan, I was busted
Lord, I hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but I'm busted
But Bill said that 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 3]
Now, Lord, I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone, I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go
Where I'll make a living, the Lord only knows, I'm busted
