I love Ray Charles and actually played this song on my saxophone at my second wedding.
I now have the tenor of the groom.
Ray was right but the first wife
wouldn't keep me 
.
Yeah, my bills were all due and the baby needed shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is down, quarter a pound but I'm busted, oh yeah
I got cow that went dry, hen that won't lay
Big stack of bills gettin' bigger each day
County's gonna haul my name, know that I went and I'm busted, I am, yeah
