Lyrics

[00:14.51] My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
[00:22.27] Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
[00:26.39]
[00:29.20] I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
[00:32.94] A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
[00:35.81]
[00:36.88] The county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted.
[00:41.25]
[00:48.04] I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
[00:52.53]
[00:55.84] I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
[00:59.96]
[01:02.88] My brother said there ain't thing a I can do
[01:05.92]
[01:06.67] My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
[01:09.68]
[01:10.45] And I was just thinking about calling on you and I'm busted.
[01:14.82]
[01:21.61] Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted
[01:26.07]
[01:29.13] The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
[01:33.93]
[01:36.68] The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
[01:40.24] Me and my family got to pack up and go
[01:43.36]
[01:43.92] But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm busted.
[01:48.50]
[01:51.78] I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing, Forget it.
