Well, I ve come here to tell you folks, I m ragged but I m right
I m a tramp and a gambler, I stay out late at night
But a Porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
That s more than any loafer in this big town can afford
Well, I ve got a electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin around at my feet
I m a rambler and a gambler, I ve lead a dirty life
Well, I tell you folks I m ragged but I m right
Repeat progression over string and guitar solos.
Well, then I got married, I knew I d settle down
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown
Now, I ve got a family, one that I m proud of
I know that we ll be happy, cause they re the ones I love
I ve got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin around daddy s feet
I m a rambler and a gambler, I ve lead a dirty life
I tell you folks I m ragged but I m right
I tell you folks I m ragged but I m right
I m a rambler and a gambler, I ve lead a dirty life
But I tell you folks I m ragged but I m right
