Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm 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,

Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong, when he's busted.

    A                                                      D

but I'll make a living, just where I don't know, cause I'm busted.
