COWPIE Country Music Lyrics
Johnny Cash
Busted
# Busted Recorded by: Johnny Cash Written by:H. Howard Recorded:August 21, 1962 Nashville, Tennessee I noticed some problems in other songs I sent into COWPIE. This is the right way. My bills are all due and the babies need shoes but I'm busted Cotton is down to a quater a pound and I'm busted I've got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay A big stack of bills that get bigger each day ÊÊ The County will haul my belongings away I'm busted! I went to my brother to ask for a loan I was busted I hate to beg like a dog for a 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 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAnd I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted! Lord I'm 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's gotta pack up and go Where I'll make a livin' the Lord only knows but I'm busted!
