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 steak three times a day for my board

That´s more than any loafer in this old town can afford
Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin´ rounds at my feet
I´m a rambler and a gambler and I´ve lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I´m ragged but I´m right
[ fiddle - guitar - piano ]
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 I´ll be happy cause they´re the ones I love
Well I got big electric fan...
I tell you folks I´m ragged but I´m right
[ harmonica ]

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
