Lyrics

Well my bills are all due and the kids need some shoes
And 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
The county will haul my belongings away
But I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
I was busted
And I had to beg like a dog for a bone
And 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
And I was just thinking 'bout calling on you
But 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
But 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
But I'm busted
Oh
I don't think you heard me
