The Bills
The Bills
They don't understand that Dad's busted
I called Brother Bill
Thought I'd asked for a loan
And busted
Lord, I hate to beg
Like a dog for a bone
I'm busted
But Bill lost his job
And the rent's overdue
His wife and his kids
Are all down with the flu
He said, I was thinking
Of calling on you
I'm busted
Now, Lord, I'm no thief
But a man could turn bad
When he's busted
Busted
My babies ain't well
And it's driving me mad
I'm busted
Busted
I'll sell that old Guernsey
And I'll give up this shack
Oh, Billy, oh, Susie
Help Mama get packed
We're heading up north
And we ain't coming back
We're busted
