BUSTED!

“Busted”

My bills are all due
And the babies need shoes
But I’M BUSTED

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
And 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 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 kids are down with the flu,
And I was just thinkin’ of callin’ on you,
‘cause I’m busted!”
