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 gonna haul my belongings away, 

But I'm Busted 

So I called on 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 

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 thinkin' about callin' on you, 

'Cause I'M Busted." 

Lord, I ain't 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 gotta pack up and go 

But I'll make a living, just where, I don't know 

'Cause I'm Busted
