Busted — текст песни (Charley Pride)

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
But Bill said that 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
[ fiddle ]
Now Lord I`m no thief but a man can go wrong when he`s busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone I`m busted
The fields`re all bare and the cotton won`t grow
Me and my family`s got to pack up and go
But I`ll make a living the Lord only knows I`m busted
