|
My bills are all due |
|
And the baby need shoes |
|
And I'm busted |
|
Cotton is down |
|
To a quarter a pound |
|
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's gonna haul |
|
My belongings away |
|
'Cause 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's ain't a thing I can do |
|
My wife and my kids |
|
Are all down with the flu" |
|
"I was just thinkin' |
|
'Bout callin' on you |
|
I'm busted" |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
Well, I am 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 |
|
I'll make a living |
|
But how, I don't know |
|
'Cause I'm busted |
|
I'm broke, no bread |
|
I [Incomprehensible] to buy nothing man |
