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

Cotton is down to a quater a pound
and I'm busted

I've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day.
The County will haul my belongings away
I'm busted!

I went to my brother to ask for a loan
I was busted

I hate to beg like a dog for a 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 of calling on you
I'm busted!

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 I'm 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 livin' the Lord only knows
but I'm busted!
