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 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
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
