Busted

My bills are all due, my baby need shoes

But I'm busted

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound,

I'm busted

I've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay

And big stacks of bills that grow bigger each day

The County will haul my belongings away,

I'm busted!

I call to my brother to ask for a loan

I'm busted

I hate to beg like a dog for a bone

but I'm busted

He said hey, little brother, ain't a thing I can do

My kids and my wife are all down with the flu

And I was just thinking of calling on you

I'm busted!
