My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted

I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day

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 without his bone, but I'm busted

My brother said there ain't thing a I can do

My wife and my kids are all down with the flu

And I was just thinking about calling on you and I'm busted.

Well, I am no thief, but a man can go 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, Forget it.
