C           
Well I've come here to tell you folks 
     G7 
I'm ragged but I'm right 
                           C 
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night 
    F                                   G7            D 
A porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board 
                                     G7 
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford 
  

     C                             G7 
Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep 
                           C 
A little baby boy playin' round Daddy's feet 
       F                            C  
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I lead every life 
        D                  G                  
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right  
 
{ fiddle - guitar - piano ) 
 

                        G7 
Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down 
                                     C 
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown 
F               C      G7                D 
Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of 
                                  G 
I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love 
 
Well a  big electric fan.......(Chorus) 
 
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right 
 
{ harmonica } 
 
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
