Busted

<p>[Verse]<br/>My bills are all due and the babies need shoes<br/>But I&#x27;m Busted<br/>Cotton&#x27;s gone down to a quarter a pound<br/>And I&#x27;m Busted<br/>I got a cow that&#x27;s gone dry<br/>And a hen that won&#x27;t lay<br/>A big stack of bills<br/>Getting bigger each day<br/>The county&#x27;s going to haul my belongings away<br/>But I&#x27;m Busted<br/>So I called on my brother to ask for a loan<br/>Because I was Busted<br/>I hate to beg like a dog for a bone<br/>But I&#x27;m Busted<br/>My brother said, &quot;there&#x27;s not a thing I can do<br/>My wife and my kids<br/>Are all down with the flu<br/>And I was just thinking about calling on you<br/>Because I&#x27;m Busted<br/>Lord, I am not no thief, but a man can go wrong<br/>When he&#x27;s Busted<br/>The food that we canned last summer is gone<br/>But I&#x27;m Busted<br/>Now the fields are all bare<br/>And the cotton won&#x27;t grow<br/>Me and my family&#x27;s got to pack up and go<br/>But I&#x27;ll make a living, just where, I don&#x27;t know<br/>Because I&#x27;m Busted
