The bills are all due and my baby need shoes but I'm busted

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm busted

I got a cow that's gone 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 called brother Bill to get me a loan I was busted

For I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
