Busted · letra

Verse

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