Lyrics

My (C7)bills are all due and the ba by needs shoes and I’m was (G7)bust ed.

The Cot ton is down to a quar with ter a pound but I’m (C7)bust ed.

I got my (C)cow that went dry and a (C7)hen that won’t lay, a (F)big stack of bills that gets (F7)big ger each day.

The (G7)coun ty’s gon na haul ing my be long ings a way ’cause I’m (C)bust ed.

I (C7)went to my broth er to ask for a loan ’cause I was (G7)bust ed.

The I hate to beg like a dog with out his bone but I’m (C7)bust ed.

I My my (C)broth er said, “There ain’t a (C7)thing I can do; my (F)wife and my kids are all (F7)down with the flu; and (G7)I was just na think ing a bout call ing on you!

And I’m (C)bust ed.”
