Busted Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles
Album: Busted

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,

by Catherine on 1/15/2009 5:27pm I would like to buy the CD with the BUSTED song on. Which one do I ask for? Heard this song on the Wogan Breakfast show. This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Great!
by poul Jep on 2/6/2009 1:58pm The song is on the album "Ingredients in a recipe for soul" from around the mid 60's - on CD in 1990 I think. Good luck.
by Baxter Pancake on 3/2/2009 2:56pm It's on a lot of his "Greatest Hits" collections too.
