My bills are due and the baby need shoes and a i'm busted cotton is down to quarter a pound but i,m busted I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay A big stack bills that bigger each day The county gonna haul my belongings away cause i'm busted I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause i´m busted I hate to beg like a dog without his bone but i´m busted My brother said there a'int a thing i can do My wife wife and kids are down with the flu and i was just thinking about calling in you cause i´m busted Well, i am no thief but a man can 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 got to pack up and go But i'll make a living just where i don't know Cause i'm busted i'm broke ,no bread,i mean like nothing
