My bills are all due
And the baby need shoes
And I'm busted

Cotton is down
To a quarter a pound
I'm busted

I got a cow that went dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills
That get 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
I was busted

I hate to beg
Like a dog for a bone
But I'm busted

My brother said
"There's ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids
Are all down with the flu"

"I was just thinkin'
'Bout callin' on you
I'm busted"

[Incomprehensible]

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
Gotta pack up and go

I'll make a living
But how, I don't know
'Cause I'm busted

I'm broke, no bread
I [Incomprehensible] to buy nothing man
