Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but 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's gonna haul my belongings away, I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I'm busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
My brothern said there ain't a thing I can do
The wife and the kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you....I'm busted
Well I am no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pick up and go
But I'll make a living just where I don't know, I'm busted
