Busted

Well the bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm busted And cotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm busted Well the cow's gone dry and my hens won't lay A big stack of bills that get bigger every day And the county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted Well I called on my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted I said son I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted Well my brother said son I'm afraid there ain't a thing I can do I'm so broke I could really use a dollar or two Matter of fact I was thinkin' bout calling on you cause I'm busted Now the Lord knows I ain't no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted All the food that we canned last summer is gone and we��re busted Well the fields are all bare the cotton won't grow And me and my family got to pack up and go Where I'll make a livin' the Lord only knows I'm busted
