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
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 will haul my belongings away,
I'm Busted
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
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.
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
'Cause I'm Busted
