_ Well, the mills are all dimmed and the babies need shoes, but [G#] I'm busted. _ _ _
_ _ And cotton is down to a quarter [D#m] of a pound, but [C#] I'm busted. _ _ _
_ _ Well, my cow's gone dry and my hens [D#] won't mate.
[F#] And the stacked bills, they get [C#m] bigger every day.
[G#] And the county's gonna haul my belongs [F#] away, cause [C#] I'm busted. _ _ _
_ _ Well, I called on my brother to ask for a loan, cause [G#] I'm busted.
[D#] _ _ _
_ [G#] I said, son, I hate to dig like a dog for a bone, [C#] but I'm busted. _ _ _
[G#] Well, my brother said, son, I'm afraid there ain't [C#m] a thing I can do.
[F#] I said, bro, I could really use a dollar or two.
[G#] Matter of fact, I was thinking [G#m] about honing [F#] on you, [C#] cause I'm busted. _ _

Now, the Lord knows I ain't no thief.
[C#m] Pretty men can go wrong when [G#] he's busted.
[D#] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ All the food that we can't, there's some else gone, [C#] and we're busted.
[G#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ Well, the mills are all bad, the cotton mall's old.
[F#] And me and [C#m] my family [F#] got to pack up and go, [G#] where I'll make a living.
The Lord [F#] only knows [C#] I'm busted. _ _ _
