Busted(Ukulele chords)

	        D                                                           A 
Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted 
                                            D 
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted 
 
I got a cow that's gone dry a hen that won't lay 
  G 
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day 
    A 
The county's gonna haul my belongings away 
          D 
Cause I'm busted 
 
I called up my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted 
Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted 
My brother said, 'There ain't a thing I can do 
My wife and the kids are all down with the flu 
And I was just thinkin's 'bout callin' on you 
Cause I'm busted 
 
Lead solo 
 
Now I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted 
The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're busted 
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow 
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go 
I'll make a livin', just where I don't know 
Cause I'm busted
