Busted Lyrics - Kitty Wells

The bills are all due 

And the babies need shoes but we're busted 

Cotton is down to a quarter 

A pound and we're busted 

Got a cow that's gone dry 

And a hen that won't lay 

A big stack of bills 

That gets bigger each day 

The county's gonna haul 

Our belongings away, we're busted 

I called brother Bill 

Thought I'd ask for a loan, we're busted 

Now we hate to beg like a dog 

For a bone but we're busted 

But Bill said that 

"There ain't a thing I can do 

My wife and my kids 

Are all down with the flu" 

"And we were just thinking 

Of calling on you, we're busted" 

Now we are not thieves 

But you sure can go wrong when you're busted 

That food that we canned last summer 

Is gone, we're busted 

The fields are all bare 

And the cotton won't grow 

So me and my family 

Must pack up and go 

Where we'll make a living 

The Lord only knows, we're busted
