Busted Lyrics - Nazareth

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes 

And I'm busted 

Cotton is down by 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 a bone 

But I was busted 

My brother said somethin', ain't a thing I can do 

My wife and my kids, they're are all down with the flu 

And I was just thinkin' 'bout callin' on you 

'Cause I'm busted 

Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong 

When he's busted 

The food that we canned for last summer is gone 

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 how I don't know 

'Cause I'm busted
