D A Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted D Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted I got a cow that's gone dry a hen that won't lay G A big stack of bills that get bigger each day A The county's gonna haul my belongings away D Cause I'm busted I called up my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do My wife and the kids are all down with the flu And I was just thinkin's 'bout callin' on you Cause I'm busted Lead solo Now I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're busted The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow Me and my family's gotta pack up and go I'll make a livin', just where I don't know Cause I'm busted
