Busted Songtext
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted
I got cow that went dry and hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
And the county's gonna haul my belongings away 'cause I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
M brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
I ain't no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm bustеd
The fields are all barе and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family had to pack up and go
How I'll make a living, my Lord, I don't know 'cause I'm busted
I'm busted
Ain't got no money
Only a quarter
And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted"
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted
I got cow that went dry and hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
And the county's gonna haul my belongings away 'cause I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
M brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
I ain't no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm bustеd
The fields are all barе and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family had to pack up and go
How I'll make a living, my Lord, I don't know 'cause I'm busted
I'm busted
Ain't got no money
Only a quarter
