My bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm busted

Cotton is down to a quater a pound and I'm busted

I've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that get bigger each day EE

The County will haul my belongings away 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 ain't a thing I can do

My wife and my kids are all down with the flu

And I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted
