Busted - Wanda Jackson

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!»
