busted-Johnny  Cash

  My  bills  are  all  due  and  the  babies  need  shoes

  but  I＇m  busted

    Cotton  is  down  to  a  quarter  a  pound

  and  I＇m  busted

    I  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  went  to  my  brother  to  ask  for  a  loan,

  I  was  busted

    I  hate  to  beg  like  a  dog  for  a  bone

  but  I＇m  busted

    My  brother  said,

  ＂There  ain＇t  a  thing  I  can  do＂

  My  wife  and  my  kids＇re  all  down  with  the  flu

  And  I  was  just  thinking  of  calling  on  you,

  I＇m  busted
