Busted
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My bills are all due and my baby need shoes, but I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quater 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 grow bigger each day
The county will haul my belongings away, I'm busted
I call 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 say: "hey little brother, anything I can do
My kid and my wife are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted!"
Lord I'm 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's gotta pack up and go
Where I'll make a livin' the lord only knows but I'm busted
