Ray Charles & The Count Basie Orchestra Busted Lyrics

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted right now
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's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted right now

Oh yes, I am

Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without a bone, but I'm busted I tell you
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted

Well, that's what he told me

Well, I am 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 right now
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
I'll make a living, where I don't know but I'm busted
I'm broke, I got no money, forget it

To hell with it
