i'm ragged, but i'm right

i've come here to tell you boys

i'm ragged

but i'm right

i'm a tramp and a gambler

i stay out late at night

got a porterhouse steak

three times a day for my board

that's more than any loafer

in this big town can afford

i got a big electric fan

to keep me cool while i sleep

little baby boy playing around at my feet

i'm a rambler and a gambler

and i lead a dirty life

i tell you boys i'm ragged

but i'm alright

when i got married i knew i'd settle down

build 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

because they're the ones i love
