My bills are all due
And the baby needs shoes
And I'm busted
Cotton is down
To a quarter a pound
But 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 gonna haul
My belongings away
Cause I'm busted
Log on to hide ad.
I went to my brother
To ask for a loan
Cause I was busted
I hate to beg like
A dog without his 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 thinking
About calling on you
And I'm busted
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
Got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living
Just where I don't know
Cause I'm busted
I'm broke, no bread
I mean like nothing
Forget it
