Yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Well, I know
Yeah, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
But I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
But I'm busted right now
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
'Cause I'm busted right now
Oh, yes, I am
Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan
'Cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone
But I'm busted, I'll tell ya
My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you
'Cause I'm busted myself"
Well, that's what he told me
Yeah, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he, he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
And I'm busted right now
Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
I'll make a living, where I don't know
'Cause I'm busted today
Y'all know I'm broke
I ain't got no money
I'm talkin' 'bout empty pockets
Ah, forget it
Ah, to hell with it
Yeah
Yeah
Sim
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, não, não, não
Well, I know
Bem, eu sei
Yeah, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
Sim, minhas contas estão todas vencidas e o nenê precisa de sapatos
But I'm busted
Mas estou quebrado
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
O algodão está a um quarto de libra
But I'm busted right now
Mas agora eu estou duro
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
Tenho uma vaca que secou e uma galinha que não bota
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
Uma grande pilha de contas que aumenta a cada dia
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
O condado vai levar meus pertences
'Cause I'm busted right now
Porque agora estou duro
Oh, yes, I am
Oh, sim, eu estou
Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan
Bem, eu fui ao meu irmão pedir um empréstimo
'Cause I was busted
Porque eu estava duro
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone
Odeio mendigar como um cachorro sem osso
But I'm busted, I'll tell ya
Mas estou quebrado, eu te digo
My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
Meu irmão disse "Não há nada que eu possa fazer
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
Minha esposa e meus filhos estão todos com gripe
And I was just thinking about calling on you
E eu estava pensando em te chamar
'Cause I'm busted myself"
Porque eu próprio estou quebrado"
Well, that's what he told me
Bem, foi isso que ele me disse
Yeah, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong
Sim, eu não sou ladrão, mas um homem pode errar
When he, he's busted
Quando ele, ele está duro
The food that we canned last summer is gone
A comida que enlatamos no verão passado se foi
And I'm busted right now
E agora estou quebrado
Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Bem, os campos estão todos vazios e o algodão não vai crescer
Me and my family got to pack up and go
Eu e minha família temos que arrumar as malas e ir embora
I'll make a living, where I don't know
Vou ganhar a vida, onde eu não sei
'Cause I'm busted today
Porque hoje estou ferrado
Y'all know I'm broke
Vocês sabem que estou falido
I ain't got no money
Eu não tenho dinheiro
I'm talkin' 'bout empty pockets
Estou falando de bolsos vazios
Ah, forget it
Ah, esqueça
Ah, to hell with it
Ah, dane-se
Yeah
Sim
