Busted (Gospel 12/8 Shuffle)

My bills are all due and my baby needs shoes, but I’m busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, I’m busted
I’ve 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 go to my brother to ask for a loan, I’m busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but I’m busted
He said «Hey little bro, there ain’t a thing I can do
My kids and my wife are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking of calling on you, I’m busted!»
