[Verse 1]
[G]My bills
are all due and the baby needs shoes
And [D]I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
But I'm [G]busted
I got a cow that went dry
and a hen that won't lay
A big [C]stack of bills that gets bigger
[Bb]each day
[A]The county's [D]gonna haul
my belongings away
[G]'Cause I'm busted.

[Verse 2]
[G]I went to my brother to
ask for a loan
'Cause I was [D]busted
I hate to beg like a dog
without his bone
But I'm [G]busted
My brother said there ain't a thing
I can do
My wife [C]and my kids
are all down [G]with the flu[Bb]
[D]And I was just thinking about
callin' on you
[G]And I'm busted.

[Verse 3]
[G]Well I am no thief but a man can go wrong
When [D]he's busted
The food that we packed
that last summer is gone
And I'm [G]busted
The fields are all bare
and the cotton won't grow
[C]Me and my fam'ly
got to pack [Bb]up and [A]go
But I'll [D]make a living just where I
don't know
[G]'Cause I'm busted.
