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      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
