Well I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a rounder and I stay out late at night
I pour a high steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any rounder in this old town can afford
Well big 'lectric fan keep me cool when I sleep
A little baby girl play around daddy's feet
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler and I lead every fight
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
[ harmonica - guitar - piano ]
Well when I got married I knew I'd settled down
Build myself a little lovenest near an east Texas town
Now I got a family one that I'm proud of
I know that I'll be happy cause there's the ones I'm thinkin' of
Big 'lectric fan keep me cool when I sleep...
[ guitar ]
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler and I lead every fight
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
