Lyrics:

My bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm bustedCotton is down to a quater a pound and I'm bustedI've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't layA big stack of bills that get bigger each day EEThe County will haul my belongings away I'm busted!I went to my brother to ask for a loan I was bustedI hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm bustedMy brother said there ain't a thing I can doMy wife and my kids are all down with the fluAnd I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted!Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's bustedThe food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm bustedThe fields are all bare and the cotton won't growMe and my family's gotta pack up and goWhere I'll make a livin' the Lord only knows but I'm busted!
