Busted (First Show 13th January 1968)
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'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 went to 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
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, and 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 went to 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
