Matanza Busted
My bills are all due, my baby need shoes
But I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound,
I'm busted
I've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
And big stacks of bills that grow 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, 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!
