Busted

The bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm busted

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm busted

Got a cow that's gone 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 I'm busted

I called brother Bill and I asked for a loan I was busted

Lord I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted

But Bill said there ain't a thing I can do

My wife and the kids they're all down with the flu

And I was just thinking of callin' on you I'm busted

[ guitar ]

Now Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted

The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're 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 I'm busted
