A
The bills are all due and my baby needs shoes
E7
But I’m busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
A
But I’m busted
I got a cow that’s gone dry and a hen that won’t lay
D
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
E7
The county’s gonna haul my belongings away
A
I’m busted
I called brother Bill thought I’d get me a loan
E7
I was busted
Lord I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
A
But I’m busted
But Bill said that there ain’t a thing I can do
D
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
E7
And I was just thinking about calling on you
A
I’m busted
Now Lord I’m no thief but a man can go wrong
E7
When he’s busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
A
I’m busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won’t grow
D
Me and my family’s gotta pack up and go
E7
Where I’ll make a living the Lord only knows
A
I’m busted
The bills are all due and my baby needs shoes
