Busted

[Verse] Yeah, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted Cotton is down, quarter a pound but I'm busted, oh yeah I got cow that went dry, hen that won't lay Big stack of bills getting bigger each day County's going to haul my name, know that I went and I'm busted, I am, yeah Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan because I was busted But I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted But my brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do My wife and my kids are all down with the flu I was just thinking about calling on you cause I'm busted" And 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, no, no, no Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow And my family and I had to pack up and go I'll make a living, my Lord, how I don't know cause I'm busted
