Blood, Sweat And Tears

My bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but 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




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're all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family gotta pack up and go
But I'll make a living the Lord only knows but I'm busted
