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



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



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
