Busted — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

My bills are all due and the babies need shoes,
But I`m Busted
Cotton`s gone down to a quarter a pound
And I`m Busted

I got a cow that`s gone dry
And a hen that won`t lay
A big stack of bills
Getting bigger each day
The county`s gonna haul my belongings away,
But I`m Busted

So I called on my brother to ask for a loan
`Cause I was Busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone,
But I`m Busted

My brother said, "there`s not a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids
Are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin` about callin` on you,
`Cause I`M Busted."

Lord, I ain`t no thief, but a man can go wrong,
When he`s Busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone,
But I`m Busted

Now the fields are all bare
And the cotton won`t grow
Me and my family`s gotta pack up and go
But I`ll make a living, just where, I don`t know
`Cause I`m Busted
