Busted

Busted
by Ray Charles

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm
busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
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.

I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
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, 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
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow,
Me and my family got to pack up and go,
But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm
busted.

I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing,

I LOVE that song. Heard it Friday night during a Brother Ray tribute show and it's been stuck in my head since then.

I duped your post.
