Busted |
| Well, the bills are all due and the babies needs shoes, we’re busted |
| We’ve had a hard time since they closed down the mines, we’re busted |
| Got a cow that’s gone dry and a hen that won’t lay |
| A big stack of bills that get bigger each day |
| Tomorrow they’ll haul our belongings away, we’re busted |
| Well, our friends are all leavin' this ol' mining town, we’re busted |
| They’re headin' up north where there’s work to be found and trusted |
| Lord, I hate to give up this acre of land |
| It’s been in the family since minin' began |
| But babies get hungry, they don’t understand we’re busted |
| We’re busted, yes, we’re busted |
| We’re headin' up north and we ain’t coming back, we’re busted |
| I called brother John, thought I’d ask for a loan, we was busted |
| Lord, I had to beg like a dog for a bone, but we’re busted |
| Brother John lost his job and his rent’s overdue |
| His wife and his kids are all down with the flu |
| He said, «I was thinkin' of callin' on you, I’m busted» |
| Lord no, my old man’s no thief, but a good man turns bad when he’s busted |
| My babies ain’t well and it’s drivin' me mad 'cause we’re busted |
| Gonna sell that ol' Guernsey and give up this shack |
| Come on now children, help mama get packed |
| We’re headin' up north and we ain’t comin' back, we’re busted |
| We’re busted, yes we’re busted |
| We’re headin' up north and we ain’t coming back, we’re busted |
