busted cover

Matanza

My bills are all due and my baby need shoes but I m busted
Cotton is down to a quater a pound, I m busted
I ve got a cow that went dry and a hen that won t lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
The County will haul my belongings away I m busted!

I call to my brother to ask for a loan, I m busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but I m busted
He said: Hey little brother there ain t a thing I can do
My kids and my wife are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking of calling on you, I m busted!
