Letra de Busted

The bills are all due and my baby need shoes but I'm busted Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm busted I got a cow that's gone 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 called brother Bill to get me a loan I was busted For I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted But Bill said that there ain't a thing I can do My wife and my kids're all down with the flu And I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted [ fiddle ] Now Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted The food that we canned last summer is gone I'm busted The fields're all bare and the cotton won't grow Me and my family's got to pack up and go But I'll make a living the Lord only knows I'm busted
