Charley Pride — I’m Busted

A  
The bills are all due and my baby needs shoes 
        E7  
But I'm busted 
  
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound 
        A  
But I'm busted  
                       
I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay 
  D  
 A big stack of bills that get bigger each day 
    E7  
The county's gonna haul my belongings away 
    A  
I'm busted  
  
I called brother Bill thought I'd get me a loan 
      E7  
I was busted 
  
Lord I hate to beg like a dog for a bone 
        A  
But I'm busted 
 
But Bill said that there ain't a thing I can do 
   D  
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu 
    E7  
And I was just thinking about calling on you 
    A  
I'm busted 
  
Now Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong 
          E7  
When he's busted 
  
The food that we canned last summer is gone 
    A  
I'm busted 
 
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow 
   D  
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go 
      E7  
Where I'll make a living the Lord only knows 
    A  
I'm busted
