[D]All the

[Verse 1]
[G]
bills are all due
And the baby needs shoes,

A [C]big stack of bills that gets
bigger each day
The [D]county's gonna haul my [G]be [D]longings away,
I'm [G]busted[C][G]
[D]Well, I went

[Verse 2]
[G]to brother Bill to get me a loan,
I was [D]busted
Oh, but I hate to beg like a dog for a bone,
I'm [G]busted
Brother Bill said, "No,
there ain't a thing I can do
My [C]wife and my kids are
all down with the flu
And [D]I was just thinking about calling on you,
[G]'cause I'm [C]busted"

[Verse 3]
[G]Lord, I am no thief,
but a man can go wrong when he's bus[D]ted
The food that we canned last summer is gone,
and I'm [G]busted
All [D]the [G]fields are all bare and the
cotton won't grow
[C]Me and my family gotta pack up and go
Where [D]I'll make a living, the Lord knows,
[G]I'm [C]busted[G][D]

[Verse 4]
Well, the [G]bills are all due
And the baby needs shoes,
but I'm [D]busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound,

I [D]got a [G]cow that went dry
and a hen that won't lay
A [C]big stack of bills that gets
bigger each day
The [D]county's gonna haul my belongings away,
[G]I'm [C]busted
