Busted — текст песни (Kitty Wells)

The bills are all due and the babies need shoes but we`re busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and we`re busted
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`s gonna haul our belongings away we`re busted
[ fiddle ]
I called brother Bill thought I`d ask for a loan we`re busted
Now we hate to beg like a dog for a bone but we`re busted
But Bill said that there ain`t a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And we were just thinking of calling on you we`re busted
[ fiddle ]
Now we are not thieves but you sure can go wrong when you`re busted
That food that we canned last summer is gone we`re busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won`t grow
So me and my family must pack up and go
Where we`ll make a living the Lord only knows we`re busted
